Enabling Gzip

Gzip compression is used to compress web pages, scripts, and stylesheets. This reduces the time it takes for a web page to load, which can improve user experience and SEO rankings. Its easily enabled using a .htaccess file and the following code,

<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/plain
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/shtml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xhtml+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/rss+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript
</IfModule> 

Simply add the above to your .htaccess file or create one within the above within file manager in your control panel.
