Gzip is not compressing my website properly - apache

Gzip is not working properly. I have added the below code in .htaccess to enable gzip. but it doesnot make any change in Compressing my website:
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/plain
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xhtml+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/rss+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript
AddType x-font/otf .otf
AddType x-font/ttf .ttf
AddType x-font/eot .eot
AddType x-font/woff .woff
AddType image/x-icon .ico
AddType image/png .png
AddType text/css .css
In checkgzipcompression.com, it says Gzip is enabled. Any ideas in solving this issue?

Elastic Bean Stalk support for compression - Apache in Amazon Linux 2 machines

We are planning to move from X86 environment environment to arm based environment and in the process we wanted to test Graviton instance - c7g
I am trying to implement gzip compression in Apache using the following steps.
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
SetEnv force-gzip true

# Remove browser bugs (only needed for really old browsers)
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4.0[678] no-gzip
BrowserMatch \bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html
Header append Vary User-Agent
Also made sure the modules mod_filter and mod_deflate is enabled. Per Amazon documentation, https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/using-features.migration-al.html
Does this means we can't use gzip compression even at Apache level
Kindly confirm

Gzip compression is not working even if it's enabled on the server

I have installed php7 with apache2 modules :-
I have also tested php.ini file, it also shows gzip:enabled
Then I have enable GZIP Compression via .htaccess source: https://gtmetrix.com/enable-gzip-compression.html
<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
# Compress HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Text, XML and fonts
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/rss+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/vnd.ms-fontobject
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font-opentype
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font-otf
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font-truetype
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font-ttf
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xhtml+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE font/opentype
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE font/otf
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE font/ttf
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE image/svg+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE image/x-icon
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/plain
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/xml
# Remove browser bugs (only needed for really old browsers)
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.0[678] no-gzip
BrowserMatch \bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html
Header append Vary User-Agent
</IfModule>
But Gzip Compression is stil not working

Try add this mod_gzip conf in .htaccess, maybe it help:
<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 mime ^application/x-javascript.*
mod_gzip_item_include mime ^text/.*
mod_gzip_item_exclude rspheader ^Content-Encoding:.*gzip.*
mod_gzip_item_exclude mime ^image/.*
mod_gzip_item_include handler ^cgi-script$
</ifModule>

Deflate on WampServer

I'm using deflate in a .htaccess-file. But this does not work in WampServer:
# deflate depending on filetype
<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/plain
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xhtml+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/rss+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/atom_xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-shockwave-flash
</IfModule>
What am I doing wrong?

mod_deflate in .htaccess and google pagespeed

i have a linode sever with centos 6 , as it wont support mod_gzip, i am using mod_deflate.
this is my code in .htacess
<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
<FilesMatch "\\.(js|css|html|htm|php|xml)$">
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
</FilesMatch>
</IfModule>
when i tested using http://www.whatsmyip.org/http-compression-test/ , its saying 'my site is gzipped' , but when i used pagespeed in chrome, it still suggest 'Enable compression'
whats wrong? any problem with my .htaccess code?

I used deflate mode in this way:
<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
# Compress HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Text, XML and fonts
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/rss+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/vnd.ms-fontobject
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font-opentype
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font-otf
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font-truetype
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font-ttf
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xhtml+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE font/opentype
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE font/otf
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE font/ttf
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE image/svg+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE image/x-icon
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/plain
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/xml
</IfModule>
And it's working perfectly for me. Pagespeed for my site is:
Desktop: 91
Mobile: 83
References which I have used for my site:
http://www.quickregisterseo.com/improve-google-page-speed-score-wordpress-without-plugins/
https://dzone.com/articles/steps-improve-your-pagespeed-insight-score

I've had this same problem. It seems pagespeed in Chrome sometimes gives the wrong results. I recommend using http://webpagetest.org or http://gtmetrix.com if you really want to be sure. You should always test these sorts of things on different websites, don't just rely on one or two tests. Some websites or tools give the wrong results.

Apache mod_deflate doesn't compress javascript/css

I'm trying to make Gzip compression work on xampp, right now this is in my .htaccess
<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/css application/json
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/xml application/xml text/x-component
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xhtml+xml application/rss+xml application/atom+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE image/x-icon image/svg+xml application/vnd.ms-fontobject application/x-font-ttf font/opentype
</IfModule>
The HTML file gets compressed, but nothing happens to the JavaScript and CSS files. Anyone know why? How to fix this? (if it's even possible)

Okay... stupid fault... browser still used cached versions...
