Gzip Favicon.ico

It is LiteSpeed Enterprise. Gzip is enabled on the server (brotli as well), not sure why the favicon isn’t utilising it.

To fix:
Go to WebAdmin Console: Server -> Tuning -> Compressible Types: delete the pre-configured content and leave it empty. The server built-in default will take care of all common compressible types.
Or directly edit the config file at lsws/conf/httpd_config.xml, search for compressibleTypes, and remove that element.
Then restart LSWS, it should work.

For new installs, default values will be handled better in next LSWS release.

The WebHost has refused to do this since the account affected is on shared hosting. Can this not be implemented on shared hosting?
(I should mention I did test a different site on a different host using LiteSpeed and it seems the same problem is in that host too).

The second webhost also refused to do the same on shared hosting. Seems this issue cannot be resolved by those involved (these are resellers. So I am not sure if the real web hosts would implement it).

Hi,

Well, in such case, please seek help from provider , if they refuse, consider to change hosting provider if this favicon gzip really matters to you.

Best regards,

It is not me really but the person who owns the site. They are speed freaks, so even a small change in loading time matters to them.

Just a followup question. Why would this code refuse to work? AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE image/x-icon
