 * Hi Marius, no not in the current version. It is planned for a future version 
   though.
 * But looking at your server response headers, I see `Content-Encoding: gzip` which
   means the normal (non .gz extension) response is already compressed on the fly.
   Although I don’t know your server’s compression level settings, even the lowest
   level will mean a substantial reduction.
 * If you wish to make /sitemap.xml.gz available too, you could manually add a redirect
   in your .htaccess file. Let me know if you need help with that 🙂

 * Hi RavanH, I know how to do this step, but i will prefer to wait the future version
   of your awesome plugin!
    Thank you for your help!
