I guess all modern browsers automatically support htmlgz files etc. Basically just the html file gzipped, and that's it. Can be used as a direct replacement for html files.
I think it’s just for if you’ve got some hd space limitations on the server. I believe if you have the server do the compression on the fly often the time to compress it is more than the time it’d take to just send raw. Depends.
It’s possible to create htaccess files that’ll auto swap calls for html files for htmlgz ones instead.
