    Hello and thanks for the plugin.
    However unfortunately it did not work on wordpress 5.3.2 with a site hosted by strato for me. I checked the gzip compression after installing and activating the plugin via https://www.giftofspeed.com/gzip-test/. Gzip compression was still turned off. After modifying my .htaccess by three lines
    <IfModule mod_deflate.c>
    SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
    </IfModule>
    gzip compression worked. But this was not an effect of the plugin. So I removed the plugin from my site. Btw should the plugin work by modifying the .htaccess? I would like to use the plugin, which can save me time of modifying .htaccess files.
    Regards, felibunda

    Hello,

    yes, the plugin works by modifying .htaccess file to enable gzip compression. It inserts the following to yout .htaccess:

    <IfModule mod_deflate.c>
    AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/text text/html text/plain text/xml text/css application/x-javascript application/javascript
    </IfModule>

    If mod_deflate is working on your system there should be no problems.

    I’m marking this as resolved. The plugin requires access to .htaccess. ??

    Dear mokimoki,

    sorry for the late reply. I tried your plugin with another website, also hosted by strato: https://www.bauernhof-kleingarn.de
    Unfortunately I had also there no success. You have written the plugin requires access to .htaccess. But, if the hoster does not grant access to the file, how should one use your plugin for a website at the hoster’s webspace?
    In my opinion it would be good if you would add some hints to the details in your description of your plugin.

    Best regards
