• I configured W3 Total Cache and managed to speed up my blog considerably due to page cache and CDN. However, in spite of enabling the option, gzip compression and expires headers are not working. I found this with YSlow and confirmed it with https://analyze.websiteoptimization.com. (My blog is at https://www.bansuriflute.com)

    When I do compatibility check, it says that following are not found. I checked with my hosting service (fatcow) and they say these are installed correctly on web server.
    mod_mime: Not detected
    mod_expires: Not detected
    mod_deflate / mod_gzip: Not detected
    mod_headers: Not detected
    mod_env: Not detected
    mod_setenvif: Not detected
    mod_rewrite: Not detected

    Any clues what might be going on?

    The rest of the compatibility check is.
