GZip not working HTML

Hi @designburst,

If you have cPanel, please try enabling zlib.output_compression in MultiPHP INI Editor, or add
zlib.output_compression = On
to you php config.

Best regards,
Anton

Thanks but I dont have the Multipphp option so is it wp-config I add that code to?

So I added following to my wp config at request of host:
ob_start(“ob_gzhandler”);

And I added this to php.ini at your request.
zlib.output_compression = On

Still not working- any further assistance appreciated
Thank you

@designburst,

Your site is returning a 500 error at the moment. Maybe one of the two changes above broke something?

Best regards,
Anton

Hi

Whoops- it was because I installed another cache plugin at the recommendation of my host.it is fixed now…however teh gzip is still not working

Hello @designburst

Hope you are doing well!

Based on this online tool, the GZIP compression for HTML type is enabled
https://www.giftofspeed.com/gzip-test/

Hummingbird plugin along with HTML type, has CSS and JavaScript types as well. Please clarify for which type GZIP shown as deactivated. For example please see here:

Also, since you’ve added these changes on your end (mentioned in the above reply), please go to Hummingbird > GZIP compression and click on “Re-Check Status” button.

Please advise,

Kind regards,
Nastia

Hello Nastia

Thank you for your response. Ok so adding code has helped because the gzip test works on this site. However I still get error message for html compression in hummingbird.css and java are working fine but html comes up as error. This is the error i get:
Gzip is not working properly:

– Your server may not have the “deflate” module enabled (mod_deflate for Apache, ngx_http_gzip_module for NGINX).
– Contact your host. If deflate is enabled, ask why all .htaccess or nginx.conf compression rules are not being applied.
If re-checking and restarting does not resolve, please check with your host or open a support ticket with us.
My host confirmed deflate module is enabled and said they cannot help me with anything else.

Hello

I just want to let you know it was an updating issue. All is working perfectly now that I have the latest version of hummingbird installed. Thank you for all of your assistance.

Hello there @designburst

Glad to know that this is resolved now! ??

Take care,
Dimitris
