my website is in html and i want to enable gzip compression, my server has provided gzip compression through PHAR extension.
can you guide me how to do gzip .
I prefer to enable GZIP in the .htaccess, assuming your host allows you to change/add an .htaccess file. If they do, I write about how to enable GZIP:
#Gzip
<ifmodule mod_deflate.c>
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/text text/html text/plain text/xml text/css application/x-javascript application/javascript text/javascript
</ifmodule>
#End Gzip

When I execute:
sudo a2dismod deflate
sudo service apache2 restart
And refresh & inspect the response headers of my site in Chrome Web Tools, my assets (css and js) are still being marked as Content-Encoding : gzip. Y-Slow also confirms that all assets except the actual html document are still compressed.
I have output compression turned off in CodeIgniter's config file:
$config['compress_output'] = FALSE;
For what it's worth... though with the deflate module disabled I don't think it matters much, my /etc/apache2/mods-available/deflate.conf file is the system default:
<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript application/javascript application/ecmascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/rss+xml
</IfModule>
I'm running Ubuntu 12.04. What else could be causing my assets to be compressed?
My .htaccess file is void of deflate commands.
You can try the following.
to disable the gzip for a specified file try this:
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI YOUR_FILE_NAME\.php$ no-gzip dont-vary
in you htaccess file. change YOUR_FILE_NAME\.PHP$ to what you need.
and to disable the gzip at all try this:
SetEnv no-gzip dont-vary
in your htaccess file.
I'm trying to speed up my website. Google insights (https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights) tells me that a critical problem is to enable GZip compression.
The address of the site is http://user2.net
It's based on codeigniter framework.
I have enabled gzip compression with folowing changes to my .htaccess file:
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
<files *.html>
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
</files>
I have tested the site with this tool:
http://www.gidnetwork.com/tools/gzip-test.php
It says that gzip is enabled.
What am I missing?
Did you try these lines in your .htaccess?
<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
<FilesMatch "\.(html|php|txt|xml|js|css)$">
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
</FilesMatch>
</IfModule>
It works for my site.
First, check if gzip is enable in your server. You can use this tool:
http://checkgzipcompression.com/
If it's ok, then, check that the compression is working FOR ALL your files.
If Google Page Speed Test found on single file without GZIP compression from your server, the website with fail the test.
You can use Google Chrome for this:
Inspect your code; in the image you can see there is Content Encoding GZIP for the html file.
Clic on every file and find which doesn't have the GZIP encode; maybe the CSS type o JS type.
When you find it, add the file type to your gzip.conf
This is the simple configuration for gzip.conf
gzip on;
gzip_disable "MSIE [1-6]\\.(?!.*SV1)";
gzip_proxied any;
gzip_types text/plain text/css text/javascript text/xml application/javascript application/x-javascript application/xml application/xml+rss image/x-icon image/svg+xml image/jpeg image/jpg image/png
gzip_vary on;
Good Luck!
There are three ways to enable gzip compression -
By configuring server settings
For apache -
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/plain
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xhtml+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/rss+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript
For nginx
gzip on;
gzip_comp_level 2;
gzip_http_version 1.0;
gzip_proxied any;
gzip_min_length 1100;
gzip_buffers 16 8k;
gzip_types text/plain text/html text/css application/x-javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript;
gzip_disable "MSIE [1-6].(?!.*SV1)";
gzip_vary on;
And by editing .htaccess as shown above
<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
<FilesMatch "\.(html|php|txt|xml|js|css)$">
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
</FilesMatch>
</IfModule>
Source: Enable compression
It's the redirect, it sets 2 headers
first 301 (or 302, didn't check)
second 200 + gzip
For anyone who may be having an "Uncompressed Pages" issue after running a SEMRush site audit, try adding the following to your .htaccess
<ifModule mod_gzip.c>
mod_gzip_on Yes
mod_gzip_dechunk Yes
mod_gzip_item_include file .(html|txt|css|js|php)$
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>
Always remember to backup your .htaccess file before making any edits, as a simple typing error could cause certain features of your website to fail or even worse - break your entire website.
Reference: https://www.semrush.com/blog/improve-page-load-times-htaccess-file/
Google has addressed this exact same concern in their FAQ as why would you get the errors to compress/gzip your files.
Checkout from Google's Insights:
https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/insights/EnableCompression#FAQ
Earlier they used to have a chome extension but now it has been removed so they point you to https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/ where when you enter any url, they tell which particular files or scripts are still eligible for compression or blocking the page render or both.
Hope this helps.
I was working on microsoft environment, but now I moved my website to ubuntu, the problem is, when I try to write a link like this, 127.0.0.1/asd, I get not found error, the thing that makes me crazy is, that URL sometimes work sometimes does not work and It was working great on windows environment, this is the error I get,
Not Found The requested URL /asd was not found on this server.
this is my .htaccess,
# compress text, html, javascript, css, xml:
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
# Or, compress certain file types by extension:
<files *.html>
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
</files>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([//a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ tab.php?tab_id=$1 [QSA,L]
Your problem seems to be your rewrite rule - "//" should be "\/" - what does your apache conf file look like, does it have .htaccess enabled for that directory?
I can't get my site to use gzip compression.
I recently watched this video by Chris Coyier over at css-tricks.com. In the video, he talks about enabling gzip compression to make websites run faster.
As per his instruction, I linked through to github via html5boilerplate.com, copied the gzip compression code from their .htaccess file, pasted it into my own, and uploaded it to my site.
I've tested it via gzipwtf.com and it doesn't seem to work. Can anyone help me with this?
My .htaccess file looks like this:
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^orbitprint.com$ [NC]

</IfModule>
</IfModule>
Try this :
####################
# GZIP COMPRESSION #
####################
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/css text/plain text/xml application/x-javascript application/x-httpd-php

SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.(?:gif|jpe?g|png)$ no-gzip
It is better to implement it as in the snippet below.
Just paste the content below in your .htaccess file, then, check the performance using: Google PageSpeed, Pingdom Tools and GTmetrics.

Your .htaccess should run just fine; it depends on four different Apache modules (one per each <IfModule> directive). I guess one of the following:
your Apache server doesn't have either mod_filter, mod_deflate, mod_headers and/or mod_setenvif modules installed and running. If you can access the server config, please check /etc/apache2/httpd.conf (and the related Apache config files); otherwise, you can see which modules are loaded via phpinfo(), under the apache2handler section (see attached image); (EDIT) OR, you can open a terminal window and issue the command sudo apachectl -M that will list the loaded modules;
if you get an http 500 internal server error, your server may not be allowed to use .htaccess files;
you are trying to load a PHP file that sends its own headers (overwriting Apache'sheaders), thus "confusing" the browser.
In any case, you should double-check your server config and error logs to see what's going wrong. Just to be sure, try to use the fastest way suggested here in Apache docs:
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml
and then try to load a large textfile (preferably, clean your cache first).
(EDIT) If the needed modules are there (in the Apache modules dir) but aren't loaded,
just edit /etc/apache2/httpd.conf and add a LoadModule directive for each one of them.
If the needed modules aren't there (neither loaded, nor in the Apache modules directory), I fear that the only option is reinstalling Apache (a complete version).
First of all go to apache/bin/conf/httpd.conf and make sure that mod_deflate.so is enabled.
Then go to the .htaccess file and add this line:
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
This should output all the content served as gzipped, i have tried it and it works.
Ran into this problem using the same .htaccess configuration. I realized that my server was serving javascript files as text/javascript instead of application/javascript. Once I added text/javascript to the AddOutputFilterByType declaration, gzip started working.
As to why javascript was being served as text/javascript: there was an AddType 'text/javascript' js declaration at the top of my root .htaccess file. After removing it (it had been added in error), javascript starting serving as application/javascript.
In my case i have used following code for enabling gzip compression in apache web server.
# Compress HTML File, CSS File, JavaScript File, Text File, XML File and Fonts
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/plain
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/json
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-httpd-php
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
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE font/otf
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE font/ttf
I have taken reference from http://www.tutsway.com/enable-gzip-compression-using-htacess.php.
If your Web Host is through C Panel Enable G ZIP Compression on Apache C Panel
Go to CPanel and check for software tab.
Previously Optimize website used to work but now a new option is available i.e "MultiPHP INI Editor".
Select the domain name you want to compress.
Scroll down to bottom until you find zip output compression and enable it.
Now check again for the G ZIP Compression.
You can follow the video tutorial also. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0UDmcpGlZI
In my case append only this line worked
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
Enable compression via .htaccess
For most people reading this, compression is enabled by adding some code to a file called .htaccess on their web host/server. This means going to the file manager (or wherever you go to add or upload files) on your webhost.
The .htaccess file controls many important things for your site.
The code below should be added to your .htaccess file...
<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>
Save the .htaccess file and then refresh your webpage.
Check to see if your compression is working using the Gzip compression tool.
<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>
<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
# Insert filters
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
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-httpd-php
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-httpd-fastphp
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE image/svg+xml
# Drop problematic browsers

BrowserMatch \bMSI[E] !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html
# Make sure proxies don't deliver the wrong content
Header append Vary User-Agent env=!dont-vary
</IfModule>
I have enabled gzip compression for my website via the following in my .htaccess:
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/plain
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xml
This works fine and content is compressed for unencrypted connections, however when secure requests are made nothing is compressed. Any ideas?
My server is running Apache/2.2.14
In your Apache configuration for your secure site (ie the bit where it talks about port 443 and SSL) check that you have enabled the use of .htaccess files with an AllowOverride directive.
It's possible your current AllowOverride directive is within a section pertaining only to the configuration of non-secure, port 80 access to your server.
You should probably RTFM deflation should be negotiated automatically by the server and client at the SSL layer, not the HTTP layer.
