GZIP does not work for some files.

  • Hi. In chrome dev tools, Network tab, when I click on file it shows headers and info about GZIP. So I can see that some files are GZIP compressed, but some not! All files that were not compressed are JavaScript files. Eventhough some other JS files were compressed.
    For example this file was not compressed: /themes/deck/js/jquery.flexslider-min.js.

    My .htaccess file:

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

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/javascript 
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript 
# END WordPress

    How do I fix this?
    Thanks.

    Seriously try it with any of your theme. So I assume it’s a WP bug.

    Please give advice. I don’t know where to go. Stackoverflow didn’t like my question too.
