1	So... still no way to speed up HTTPS sites on Webfaction? permanent link answered 20 Sep '16, 07:23 listit 21●3 accept rate: 0% At this time, no. However, we're looking into ways to resolve that. (20 Sep '16, 16:12) seanf

compression on HTTP has been disabled due to the BREACH vulnerability. It is expected this vulnerability will not be patched, because it has been removed in APACHE 2.

Yes I saw numerous posts about BREACH and was checking if there were any new developments as most posts were years old.

Some hosts have implemented Brotli compression and also support HTTP/2, but I don't know if Webfaction has any plans for speeding up HTTPS sites.
