To compress resources with Gzip in Shopify, you can follow these steps:

1. Check if your theme supports Gzip compression: Go to the "Settings" section in your Shopify admin dashboard. Then click on "Themes" and select your theme. Look for a section called "Theme settings" or something similar, and check if there is an option to enable Gzip compression. If there is no option available, you may need to manually implement Gzip compression.

{% capture compressed_css %}
{% include 'style.css' %}
{% endcapture %}
{% assign compressed_css = compressed_css | split: '}' | join: '}' %}
{{ compressed_css | replace: ' ' | replace: '	' | strip }}

To enable Gzip compression for Javascript files, add the following code to the top of your theme's Javascript files:
