How to enable gzip compression - .htaccess

I can't enable gzip Compression.
This is my phph.ini:
Code in .htaccess:
# BEGIN GZIP
<ifmodule mod_deflate.c>
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/text text/html text/plain text/xml text/css application/x-javascript application/javascript
</ifmodule>
# END GZIP
Is there any other way to do it, other than .htaccess?


You can try add this rules in .htaccess
<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
# Compress HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Text, XML and fonts
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/rss+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/vnd.ms-fontobject
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font-opentype
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font-otf
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font-truetype
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font-ttf
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xhtml+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE font/opentype
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE font/otf
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE font/ttf
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE image/svg+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE image/x-icon
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/plain
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/xml

I started to look at my security and firewall plugins. Specifically, ModSecurity – an application for Web Hosting Manager that helps prevent attacks on your web server. It is a great firewall application and a must have if you are running WHM in my opinion. Interestingly enough, I noticed that if I disabled the Rules Processing engine compression, would work WITH pretty permalinks. This led me to where the rules came from. Which happens to be Pxysoft Anti Malware, another great plugin which I plan to review later. So I went through the rules directives located in the file modsec2.antimalware.conf (where the rules came from). I started commenting out every option and rule and then toggling the rules engine on and off – one by one. I did this by connecting via SSH. Which if you’re not familiar with, you really should read in-depth tutorials before messing around. Anyways, I came across the option SecDisableBackendCompression On and commented it out. After restarting the rules engine, gzip worked on all URLs! Finally!

serve compressed file with no file extension with .htaccess

I have a website chat plugin script that I've made a local copy of, and uploaded to our website: www.example.com/js/default.
webpagetest.org reports this file is uncompressed.
In .htaccess, we have:
<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
AddType x-font/woff .woff
AddType x-font/ttf .ttf
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE image/svg+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/plain
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xhtml+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/rss+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font-ttf
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/vnd.ms-fontobject
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE font/opentype font/ttf font/eot font/otf
</IfModule>
Is this not enough to compress www.example.com/js/default ?
If not, what do we need to add to .htaccess? Thanks.

Gzip not compressing ALL files of the same type

I have enabled GZip compression on my website. It's very strange but it seems that compression is enabled for some files of the same type, but not for all of them.
Please look at the following css files. They are located at the same directory in website and they are both "text/css" files. But one of them is compressed and the other is not!
In my .htaccess file, I have added the following lines:
<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
# Compress HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Text, XML and fonts
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/rss+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/vnd.ms-fontobject
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font-opentype
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font-otf
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font-truetype
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font-ttf
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xhtml+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE font/opentype
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE font/otf
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE font/ttf
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE image/svg+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE image/x-icon
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/plain
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/xml
# Remove browser bugs (only needed for really old browsers)

BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.0[678] no-gzip
BrowserMatch \bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html
Header append Vary User-Agent
</IfModule>
I have also tested that gzip compression is working on my website, using this tool

gzip/mod_deflate does not work on apache2, ubuntu, amazon ec2

I have tried everything and I cannot get gzip or mod_deflate to work. I have placed almost everything into my .htaccess file as well as my apache2.conf file. They all do not work.
Here is my server configuration:
Amazon EC2 with everything forced to https://www. with Apache (apache2) and Ubuntu. Every time I run my website through an online tester, it says that my gzip is not working/enabled. I checked multiple times and my mod_deflate and my mod_filter are both installed and enabled and running.
I've also restarted my server and restarted apache a few times but it still does not recognize that my files are gzip'ed. Here's one of the multiple codes I've tried to add from gtmetrix:
<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
# Compress HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Text, XML and fonts
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/rss+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/vnd.ms-fontobject
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font-opentype
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font-otf
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font-truetype
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font-ttf
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xhtml+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE font/opentype
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE font/otf
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE font/ttf
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE image/svg+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE image/x-icon
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/plain
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/xml
# Remove browser bugs (only needed for really old browsers)
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.0[678] no-gzip
BrowserMatch \bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html
Header append Vary User-Agent
</IfModule>
I ran my website through gtmetrix and it says my .js files and my .css files are not compressed through gzip. What is wrong?

Okay, my index is a .php page so I had to add this in my index.php page:
ob_start("ob_gzhandler");

Gzip compression using .htaccess

I am creating GZip compression using .htaccess. I am using following code to gzip te js, css files
<ifModule mod_gzip.c>
mod_gzip_on Yes
mod_gzip_dechunk Yes
mod_gzip_item_include file \.(html?|txt|css|js|php|pl)$
mod_gzip_item_include handler ^cgi-script$
mod_gzip_item_include mime ^text/.*
mod_gzip_item_include mime ^application/x-javascript.*
mod_gzip_item_exclude mime ^image/.*
mod_gzip_item_exclude rspheader ^Content-Encoding:.*gzip.*
</ifModule>
but it cannot gzip my files on server. Please let me know about the code for gzip compression
Thanks

It's probably the case that you don't have mod_gzip installed since you're using Apache 2.2, they've moved to use mod_deflate instead.
The mod_deflate docs gives you a few sample configurations, but it looks like you'd want something like:
<FilesMatch "\.(html?|txt|css|js|php|pl)$">
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
</FilesMatch>
