GZIP Module?

[Bailey]

Hello,

 

Is the GZIP module allowed/installed on the server configuration because I'm trying to use it but it isn't working. I'm sure this is to do with the server and not me.

 

The snippet I'm using:

 

 

<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>

 

Thanks,

Bailey

We have mod_deflate I believe, not mod_gzip.

Is it possible for you to install this as I would really like it?

See: https://stackoverflow.com/a/15168033

 

Generally, mod_deflate is easier to configure than mod_gzip.

 

You don't even need high compression if you have a Cloudflare account, they do minification via CDN and other things.

Thanks, but I would prefer GZIP and I dont want to use Cloudflare.

How is it easier to install? 🤔

Nevermind, thanks for your help @miwilc, I didnt realised but deflate is also uses GZIP.
