Can’t find where I have zlib.output_compression enabled

    Hi all,

    I’ve getting a warning about zlib.output_compression being enabled, but I can’t figure out which plug-in is using / enabling it.

    I tried to deactivate zlib.output_compression via .htaccess, and that resulted in a server 500 error. So no luck there either.

    Here’s the warning:

    Either the PHP configuration, web server configuration or a script in the WordPress installation has zlib.output_compression enabled.
    Please locate and disable this setting to ensure proper HTTP compression behavior.

    Any idea how to fix this? I know I could easily just dismiss the message, but I’d rather have this fixed.

    Hello,
    Do you have gzip compression enabled in Performance>Browser Cache?

    Are you using any plugins to enable zlib compression?

    I’m not sure about that to be honest. I have several plugins, the ones I suspect that might be using compression are:

    Smush
    WPSSO Core
    Yoast SEO

    I tried to disable the first one, but the warning message stayed there. The last two I want to keep them, so I didn’t try to disable them.

    Is there any way to find out exactly with plugins might be using zlib compression?

    I’m the author of WPSSO Core. I can confirm that WPSSO Core and its extensions do not use PHP’s zlib output compression, although WPSSO Core can call the gzencode() function when using the “SSO > Tools > Export Plugin and Add-on Settings” button to allow downloading a compressed settings file (*.json.gz).

    You may want to check your /etc/php.ini file and/or contact your hosting provider to make sure that setting has not been enable by default. Example:

    
$ grep 'zlib\.output_compression =' /etc/php.ini
zlib.output_compression = Off

    js.
