Gzip compression not working

  • Resolved rafatfe

    (@rafatfe)


    6 years, 4 months ago

    The plugin said me this:

    Gzip is not working properly:

    – Your server may not have the “deflate” module enabled (mod_deflate for Apache, ngx_http_gzip_module for NGINX).
    – Contact your host. If deflate is enabled, ask why all .htaccess or nginx.conf compression rules are not being applied.

    My hosting is in 1and1 and Gzip is enabled

    Can you help me please ?

  • Hello @rafatfe

    Hope you’re doing well!

    Please, add the following line to the php.ini file on your server:
    zlib.output_compression = On
    If php.ini doesn’t exist, feel free to create it. After this line is added, re-check the status from Hummingbird > GZIP Compression

    Please clarify for which types (HTML/CSS/JS) the GZIP is deactivated. I’ve checked your site with checkgzipcompression.com and GZIP is enabled on your site. It is possible that your server’s firewall blocking Hummingbird from checking if GZIP is enabled.

    Let us know how it went!

    Hey @rafatfe,

    Hope you’re well.

    At the thread, while saying “Gzip Enabled”, you mean enabled by Hummingbird or your hosting? Do you know is your server running on Apache or Nginx? And did you try to put provided codes from Hummingbird to your server configuration?

    If you are not comfortable about editing Apache .htaccess or Nginx conf, you can ask your hosting provider to edit for you.

    the plugin for html working fine, but CSS and Javascript is INACTIVE

    any idea ?

    Hi, Nastia, I have the exact same issues as above and tried all your recommended changes, including the php.ini addition. No help. All html, css and js are not being compressed. I re-checked, cleared the cache, deactivated this auto compression and re-activated it twice. Still not working.
    I am using an Apache server and the host has this code to put in .htaccess in addition to the gZip compression from Hummingbird which is active in my file:

    AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/text text/html text/plain text/xml text/css application/x-javascript application/javascript

    After doing this, still the same. Your next recommendation, please?

    Hey @rafatfe,

    Hope you’re well.

    Did you try the link Nastia shared with you for 1and1 hosting? Your hosting company already explain the necessary actions for Gzip Compression so please try https://help.1and1.com/hosting-c37630/scripts-and-programming-languages-c85099/htaccess-c37776/enable-gzip-compression-moddeflate-a792767.html this guide too.

    You can remove the old .htaccess code that shared by Nastia and try on the guide, also you can try these codes together too. If still not helps, please ask advice from your hosting why the deflate rules not applied to server.

    Cheers,
    Oguz

    Hey @ysmr,

    Hope you’re well.

    I can’t check your website because of you didn’t share any link yet but if you tried all recommendations and all necessary codes are on your htaccess or nginx configuration file, but still can’t solve; can you contact with your hosting provider to ask is deflate enabled for your hosting? If yes why not apply the rules on configuration files. Also, according to www.ads-software.com forum guides, you need to create a new thread;

    Unless users have the exact same version of WordPress on the same physical server hosted by the same hosts with the same plugins, theme, and configurations, then the odds are the solution for one user will not be the same for another. For this reason, we recommend people start their own topics.

    (https://make.www.ads-software.com/support/handbook/forum-welcome/#post-in-the-best-place)

    So if the problem continues please open a new thread for your issue.

    Thanks, Oguz,
    I did talk to GoDaddy about the Apache deflate module and they asked me to put this in the HTML together with the Gzip script from Hummingbird:

    Hi @ysmr,

    I just checked your website, and GZIP is working fine for all three file types. It is still not showing up in Hummingbird as enabled? Have you tried clicking the “Re-check status” button?

    Best regards,
    Anton

    Hello,

    I have the same setup and host (1and1) as rafatfe and have added all the code (that you suggested as well as that from 1and1) to the htaccess file and am getting the same results – or should I say, lack of results.

    All sites that look for gzip say gzip is activated:
    https://www.1and1.com/website-checker?ar=1
    https://checkgzipcompression.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fvoteforedpope.com%2F

    Yet Hummingbird continues to report that Javascript and css are “inactive”.

    Please advise.

    Thanks for your time.
