GZIP Compression not recognised

[intandem]

Hopefully someone can help because I think I've followed all instructions but still no luck.

 

I'm having terrible speed issues with a client site. Sitespeed says to fix compression and https://checkgzipcompression.com also says compression not on. However, my host has confirmed that gzip is enabled on our server. 

 

Here is my set up and any advice is appreciated:

 

Shared hosting on CloudLinux LVE.

 

Performance settings in PS:

 

Smart cache for CSS   -   yes

Smart cache for JavaScript   -  Yes

Minify HTML  -  Yes

Compress Inline JavaScript in HTML  -  No

Move JavaScript to End  -  Yes

Apache Optimisation  -  No

 

 

Cache at the bottom of the page is set to 'No'.

 

 

.htaccess file:

nothing you have provided confirms this statement

my host has confirmed that gzip is enabled on our server

 

If compression is not working properly, then it is probably not enabled
