After I posted the question, I noticed that zlib was already enabled.

But "zlib.output_compression" is "Off". So I edited my question.

 

Is it ok to set that to On or some size for the buffer? Will that break anything?

 

Thanks again.

We already have mod_deflate installed which does the same thing, but works for all file types not just php files.

 

Put something like this in your .htaccess to enable it

<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
  AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/text text/html text/plain text/xml text/css application/x-javascript application/javascript
</IfModule>
You can test your pages to see if it's enabled properly by using a tool like this http://www.whatsmyip.org/http-compression-test/

Enabling mod_deflate (gzip compression) in cPanel

 

in box [ Software ] - click on [ Optimize Website ]

 

select [ Compress all content ]

 

click on [ Update Settings ]

 

-OR-

 

select [ Compress the specified MIME types. ]

to limit which types of content are compressed - input the particular MIME (file) types you want to compress

(e.g. text/html text/plain text/xml text/css application/xml application/xhtml+xml application/rss+xml application/javascript application/x-javascript )

 

NOTE: it is best not to add image, video, audio, PDF or other types of binary files - these file formats are already compressed - so it is not necessary to compress these further

 

once you have set your file types - click on [ Update Settings ]

 

-OR-

 

to turn off gzip compression - select [ Disabled ] - click on [ Update Settings ]

 

-AND-

 

test your site (URL) at http://www.whatsmyip.org/http-compression-test/

@bdistler, oh cool, I didn't even know there was an option for that in cpanel. Thanks for pointing that out.
