Gzip not working

Hi @agesofelegance,

Could you please try changing your .htaccess file, this part:

<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
<IfModule mod_setenvif.c>
<IfModule mod_headers.c>

to

<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
<IfModule mod_setenvif.c>
<IfModule mod_headers.c>

have done and still getting the same issue I’m afraid

@agesofelegance,

You have gzip compression working fine for html, but, for some reason, not working properly for css & js files. Could you please try and remove this part:

<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
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
AddOutputFilter DEFLATE .shtml
</IfModule>

It’s not from Hummingbird code.

no that’s the code my hosting server says is needed to enable the gzip. I’ll try though and see if that works

Nope still not working and getting the same response sorry

It could be that all the static assets are handled by Nginx. Then you will need to add the configuration to nginx.conf file. Could you please ask your host if you have an Nginx+Apache configuration?

will do. Their status is that it is working, and a problem with your software. We are with 1and1 btw. With the code copied from them to get gzip working

@agesofelegance,

Hummingbird won’t be able to do anything if the gzip module doesn’t work. Like your host said – adding the code above to the .htaccess file should make gzip work, but it doesn’t… This indicates that there is some configuration problem. You can verify this with any external tool or site, for example with https://checkgzipcompression.com and using any static file (css or js) from your site as a test url.

By the way, are you using 1and1 CDN?

Since content delivery networks such as 1&1 CDN already offer built-in compression, please do not enable gzip compression if already utilizing a CDN.

hi no we aren’t using CDN

Using the link it’s saying gzip is working, but Hummingbird is still saying there’s an issue

Hi @agesofelegance,

Could you please test with the new version?

Thanks for using our plugin. As there’s no reply for a long time here, I’m marking this thread as resolved. Feel free to comment back here though, if more assistance is needed and we can re-open it for you! ??

Warm regards,
Dimitris

It wasn’t, I unfortunately had to delete the plugin and use something else

So sorry to hear that! ??
Have you tried with latest release too?
If not, feel free to give this a try and let us know here, if this is still happening in your end.

Take care,
Dimitris

Same problem here, the gzip only works for html, not for css and js.

This is my .htaccess config
# BEGIN WP-HUMMINGBIRD-GZIP

<IfModule mod_setenvif.c>
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
SetEnvIfNoCase ^(Accept-EncodXng|X-cept-Encoding|X{15}|~{15}|-{15})$ ^((gzip|deflate)\s*,?\s*)+|[X~-]{4,13}$ HAVE_Accept-Encoding
RequestHeader append Accept-Encoding “gzip,deflate” env=HAVE_Accept-Encoding
</IfModule>
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_filter.c>
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE “application/atom+xml” \

@tokegameart,

If compression is working only for HTML, that means that you static files are handled by Nginx. Please apply the appropriate rules to the nginx config file.

Best regards,
