Doesn't seem to be enabling gzip compression
-
Hey Ninjas,
I’ve been having a bit of a problem with gzip compression lately. I tried adding the appropriate code directly to my .htaccess file, but nothing happened. I went through a few plugins, but still nothing happened. In fact, the only thing that worked was Force Gzip, but adding that slowed by site down to half the original speed.
So I thought I’d try this plugin, however, still nothing has happened. When I use ismyblogworking.com, it tells me that gzip is not enabled. Same when I visit Google’s PageSpeed Insights. Is there anything I can do to rectify this? I’m on an Apache server, through Bluehost, so it should be working fine.

It’s definitely enabled as well. Or, at least, was. (I’ve deactivated it since, just until this is resolved.)
Wow.
Apache + Bluehost should have mod_deflate enabled. I have seen weirder. Are you on a shared account (like $4/month?)
Do you mind to email your URL? Also, enable it in your .htaccess again so I can look.
Also – contact bluehost support, it is in their best interests to get it working too.
Very odd, I’ll help you work through it though.
Yeah, I contacted Bluehost. They told me that they have gzip enabled but they don’t help people set it up.
My URL is arbitrarynonsense.com. Is it alright if I leave GZip Ninja Speed Compression unactivated in the meantime though? I’ve currently enabled gzip through WP Super Cache and I don’t want to cause an issue. Can you see anything which may have caused the problem? I’m a bit bemused, given how easy enabling gzip is supposed to be.
Also, yes, I’m on a shared account. Will this problem go away if I upgrade to a non-shared one?
Thanks for all your help here. I appreciate it very much.
Hey Zetland,
I just pulled a PageSpeed on your site and it looks like your GZip with WP Super Cache isn’t working either?
No, upgrading to a non-shared account wouldn’t make the problem go away, just trying to get a feel for what all is going on.
Ok – so next step. Can you copy and paste your .htaccess file contents in here? or email them to me?
Yeah, tools like ismyblogworking.com tell me that gzip is enabled, but I’m guessing it’d be a lot faster if it actually was.
Sure, I’m fine to post it here. Might help out someone else at least. Here it is…

Looks like most of it’s been added by the Super Cache plugin, since there’s a lot more than when I last checked. As you’ve probably guessed, I don’t know much about this stuff though…
same problem in bluehost… no changes no gzip compression enabled… and they had recommended me to use a plugin… !!! now I will ask for support again.
Ok, I think I know the problem zetland.
Hey Dub and Zetland, both of you guys send me an email, I have an offer for you.
ninjas [at] customwpninjas.com
Same problem. Doesn’t seem to be enabling gzip compression. https://www.nadalinfotografia.com.br/
At the first time i installed, there was a weird problem, all the pages of wp-admin redirected to 404 and the site worked with some problems. I tested in google and the compression worked! I uninstalled the plugin because i cant access my admin. And then i installed the plugin again. The instalation worked perfectly, but the compression doesn’t. I tried many times, in different ways, but unsuccessful.I’ve also had the same issue as original post. I’ve just installed the plugin and ran testing on Google pagespeed and another 2 sites and all said no compression was enabled.
I’d like to know what the solution was that was offered to the other 2 members? CustomWPNijas what was the offer you had? What was the problem?
Ya gotta email me to find out!
Also, they gave me their URLs so I could diagnose. I think I know the problem, I just need a chance to inspect and diagnose.
ninjas [at] customwpninjas.com
send me your URL and any other details you know of (other caching plugins installed, other compression plugins, etc)
Let me know if there are any other questions on this! I hope everyone knows that I’ve worked hard to solve each problem.
Hi, I have the same problem. An email specifically asked me to replace GZipNinjaSpeed_uninstall_backup1395717489.htaccess with .htaccess
That exact code didn’t exist so I replaced something similar
‘GZipNinjaSpeed_uninstall_backup’ . time(). Nothing happened
Am pretty new to website development but can manage basic instructions. My website is pennyallan.com….hope you can helpHola yo tambiem tengo un problema,me dice que copie esto:GZipNinjaSpeed_uninstall_backup1396639286.htaccess with .htaccess y la verdad no se en que parte de htccess hay que copiarla
