sm3004 Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 How do I properly setup GZIP? I tried 3 different tutorials I found on Google and none of them worked. Is there a definitive way? Is that done in CPanel / WHM??Any help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeckyl Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 if your are not on dedicate server you can make this query to your host administrator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeckyl Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 You can test if you put this code in your htaccess file AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/ico text/html text/plain text/xml text/css application/javascript application/x-javascript application/x-httpd-php application/rss+xml application/atom_xml text/javascript And you can test with Google page speed ou YSlow.Make a test befaore and after, and compare.

You are confusing creating a compressed file which hostgator supports, and mod_gzip which hostgator does not support. It is the mod_gzip that will decrease file sizes and increase load time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
