but I still getting error:
We successfully added Gzip compression settings into .htaccess file.
However, the test file we fetched was not Gzip-compressed. It seems
one of Apache modules - mod_filter or mod_deflate - is not active.
(WP Optimize plugin)
GTmetrix also says that Gzip is not enabled.
Where is mistake?

Answer 1

The problem was server version.
