Gzipping generally reduces the response size by about 70%. Approximately 90% of today's
Internet traffic travels through
browsers that claim to support gzip. If you use Apache, the module
configuring gzip depends on your version: Apache 1.3 uses mod_gzip
while Apache 2.x uses mod_deflate.

We recently moved 2 websites to full SSL as we know Google ranks better for secure websites. But it's been over two months and our website is not getting indexed as SSL.
For example;
Within a week of putting ssl on our Joomla site all our urls have changed in Google as https:// which is what we want - this is because we set up a 301 redirect in the Joomla htaccess.
But on our Opencart website which has a differently configured htaccess file it's still displaying only non SSL results on Google. The SSL is working properly on our website and has been crawled dozens of time since by Google but for some reason Google won't index us as a https website.
I am thinking that there's not a proper 301 redirect set up in our htaccess. I have attached it below:

Any help would really be appreciated.
Your canonical links are still not ssl. OpenCart generates canonical links (view your source). These links are generated through OpenCart and won't be affected by your htaccess.
There are a couple ways to change this. First you could find each instance where you call the link function and add SSL as the 3rd argument.
Replace this:
$this->url->link('example/path');
With this:
$this->url->link('example/path', '', 'SSL');
Or you could change the link funciton to handle all links as SSL links by default. Go to system/library/url.php and change this line.
public function link($route, $args = '', $connection = 'NONSSL') {
To this:
public function link($route, $args = '', $connection = 'SSL') {
Your canonical tag is the http version, I would change that to https to avoid sending conflicting signals.
Just two points which you may of course know. First, make sure your sitemap is indexing https and not http. Second, you have to set up a new website in Google webmaster with the new https website address - do not delete the old one. You will then see the new site being indexed.
On my development server running xampp on windows my .htacess rewrite rules are working fine. Once we went to our live server which is running Linux core 3.8.0-21-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Server version: Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu), our rules which do not contain parameters no longer work, yet rules which do have parameters are working.

RewriteRule ^game/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/?$ handles/handle-game-select.php?name=$1 [NC,L]
Is there differences between the two server environments which is causing this to occur?
Also, it appears that if we do something strange such as: RewriteRule ^contact.x contact.php [NC,L] we are able to reach contact.php...
Very confused on this one.
Thank you for any help.
I suspect that is due to enabling of MultiViews option. Add this line on top to disable it:
Options -MultiViews
Option MultiViews is used by Apache's content negotiation module that runs before mod_rewrite and and makes Apache server match extensions of files. So /file can be in URL but it will serve /file.php.
We have a desktop and mobile website. However, the mobile version is fairly simple and doesn't look good on iPad/tablet. Can we suppress a mobile site from appearing on a tablet, and only have it appear on the a phone device? This is an apache/PHP/Drupal site. I am pretty new to .htaccess.

# Handle traffic to /mobile by code within the theme
RewriteRule ^mobile(.*)$ /sites/all/themes/custom/mobile_site$1 [L]
I realise this isn't answering the question exactly as you asked it, but I'm going to suggest a very different, very effective solution. Use a mobile detection class/library as a hook when your site first gets hit and redirect based on that. There is an excellent class called Mobile-Detect on Github that is very well maintained, and super easy to implement: https://github.com/serbanghita/Mobile-Detect/
You should be able to build this into your site as a library, and then set a cookie or session that will persist the user's device state so it doesn't have to be detected with every page request.
The reason I suggest this is because if you do it in the Apache virtual host or in a .htaccess file, you need to do something like this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} iphone|ipad|android|blackberry [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ /mobile.php
Easy enough, but you now have to keep that maintained for any mobile/tablet user agent. And what of larger android screens? A mobile detection class built into your application will allow you to update without messing with your Apache rules, and you'll benefit from having something that's kept up to date by a community. And having every request evaluated by Apache like this is just consuming a lot of resources for something that can be done once per visitor and then handled by a cookie or session.
I am using a standard web hosting service with for my own projects.
It used the main domain wwwand several subdomains. I didn't need to use any Apache ReWrite rules in my .htaccess files, and the only thing I had to do was make sure that I had my CNAME records updated. All worked fine, I just used permissions to limit access to files and folders..
I recently installed Elgg at the main wwwlevel and now all my subdomains, which remain unchanged, give a 403error. The message points to my htaccess file being the culprit.
I would like to know how I can configure the htaccess file to allow subdomains like gadgets.mydomain.com to work again but not allow access to other folders under the same domain? None of the permissions were changed they remain as 755.
This is the standard Elgg htaccess file. How would I edit it?

OK I worked out what had cause the problem.
It was this line
# Default handler
DirectoryIndex index.php
Basically unless your directory uses a file called index.phpby default, the subdomain doesn't work. I commented this line. Another option would be to make sure all my index files had the .phpextension.
I try to make my site run with seo when i access
mysite.com/search/eminem/1/video.html
to give me the results for this url
mysite.com/index.php?search=eminem&page=1&type=video
And it show me the search page but with no results no images or javascripts etc. Is like css and js's are not implemented
this is my .htacces code
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on

You either need to make all your relative links (for images, CSS, JavaScript, etc) to absolute links with a leading slash, or add this to the header of your index.php content:
