    I’m having the same problem, I can not enable the gzip function, when I test the web through gtmetrix or pagespeed I accuse that there is no compression for the site. I looked at the performance and saw that mod_deflate: is installed.

    Another question would be in the free version of the plugin the option of memcached being disabled means that it only works in the premium version or to enable it would be some configuration on the server?

    Hello,

    Please confirm with your host if the mod_deflate module is installed.

    Regarding Memcached, This is available in the community version of the plugin. You need to install Memcached in order to be able to use it. Please check Memcached wiki for more details

    I have the same issue. I’m using a VPS and I checked with the hosting service. I said, I rand a compatibility check for W3, and it said mod_deflate was “Not Detected.”

    Tech support replied:
    ============
    “Hello,

    According to Apache conf 4 of the 5 modules are enabled:
    LoadModule env_module modules/mod_env.so
    LoadModule expires_module modules/mod_expires.so
    LoadModule deflate_module modules/mod_deflate.so
    LoadModule filter_module modules/mod_filter.so

    The mod_ext_filter is not installed.

    I don’t know why exactly this test is failing as running similar tests via
    command line (e.g. via curl) shows that the 4 listed modules are enabled
    and available. ”
    ============

    Everything seems to be in place, but it’s not working. There is no GZIPing going on.

    Hello @roadsider,

    Not detected means you don’t use mod_php mode, so you probably use php-fpm. We cannot detect Apache modules in that case, but that doesn’t mean it is not installed/active.
