I worked for several days to get gzip compression while working on sites that I have on my shared hosting server. I had a certain level of success, but unfortunately the .css and .js files are not counted, despite all my efforts. Since I use shared hosting, I do not have access to the apache configuration file, so I resorted to using my .htaccess file to achieve this.
The site I'm currently working on is Peak Heat , Wordpress is working, and below is the .haccess file that I use:
# 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/js AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/javascript AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript ## EXPIRES CACHING ## <IfModule mod_expires.c> ExpiresActive On ExpiresByType image/jpg "access 1 year" ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access 1 year" ExpiresByType image/gif "access 1 year" ExpiresByType image/png "access 1 year" ExpiresByType text/css "access 1 month" ExpiresByType application/pdf "access 1 month" ExpiresByType text/x-javascript "access 1 month" ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash "access 1 month" ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access 1 year" ExpiresDefault "access 1 week" </IfModule> ## EXPIRES CACHING ## <IfModule mod_headers.c> <FilesMatch "\.(js|css|xml|gz)$"> Header append Vary Accept-Encoding </FilesMatch> </IfModule> <ifModule mod_gzip.c> mod_gzip_on Yes mod_gzip_dechunk Yes mod_gzip_item_include file \.(html?|txt|css|js|php|pl)$ 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>
When I check the site using Firebug v1.8.3 using Google PageSpeed v1.12, it shows that the following files were not compressed:
/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.6.1
/ Wp-content / themes / peak heat / script / global.js
/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/jquery.form.js?ver=2.52
/wp-content/themes/peak-heat/style.css
/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/scripts.js?ver=3.0
/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/styles.css?ver=3.0
/wp-content/plugins/testimonials-widget/testimonials-widget.css
Checking the website URL itself with the GIDZipTest website , it confirms that compression is enabled, but when I check the above .css and .js files, it says that they are not compressed.
What can I do to include all .css and .js files when compressing my site?
