this is the same PR as #11031 and finally fixes #6093 ``` ➜ ~/public_html/p…iwik git:(4.x-dev) ✗ l piwik.* Permissions Size User Date Modified Name .rw-r--r-- 68k lukas 17 Jän 16:47 piwik.js .rw-r--r-- 59k lukas 17 Jän 16:47 piwik.old.js ➜ ~/public_html/piwik git:(4.x-dev) ✗ gzip piwik.* ➜ ~/public_html/piwik git:(4.x-dev) ✗ l piwik.* Permissions Size User Date Modified Name .rw-r--r-- 23k lukas 17 Jän 16:47 piwik.js.gz .rw-r--r-- 19k lukas 17 Jän 16:47 piwik.old.js.gz
