Mod_Deflate or Gzip is not enabled on my Server


All servers should come with mod_deflate and/or gzip enabled. If you are experiencing any issues with these, you will need to check if zlib.output_compression is enabled as well.

Without zlib.output_compression, gzip or mod_deflate will fail to run.

Once it's enabled, you can confirm it's turned on by testing your website here: whatsmyip.org/http-compression-test
