Disable Gzip Compression / Writing .htaccess

@jidwictut9 To disable GZIP you can remove the following lines from .htaccess file:

# BEGIN WP-Optimize Gzip compression
<IfModule mod_filter.c>
<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
# Compress HTML, CSS, JavaScript, text, XML and fonts
AddType application/vnd.ms-fontobject .eot
AddType font/ttf .ttf
AddType font/otf .otf
AddType font/x-woff .woff
AddType image/svg+xml .svg

AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/rss+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/vnd.ms-fontobject

# Remove browser bugs (required only for very old browsers)

Hi @jidwictut9

I believe your development server used gzip and WPO wrote the .htaccess rules.
Later, when you moved to production server or enabled brotli module, the .htaccess rules weren’t removed.

We have applied a fix for this issue and it will be available in the next release. So, I’m marking this thread as Resolved
