Pre-Gzip

Replies: 0

Hi Frank,

I’ve enabled the pre-gzip by adding in my functions.php:

add_filter(‘autoptimize_filter_cache_create_static_gzip’,__return_true);

I can see via ftp the .gz files have indeed been created.

You say in the FAQs you need to configure your webserver to use these files instead of the non-gzipped ones.

How does one do this?

Currently i have removed the following lines from my htaccess

# Gzip
<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css (removed this)
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/javascript (removed this)
</IfModule>

My thinking was that doing so would mean the server won’t try to gzip css/js. Is this the correct method to use?

When i view the AO files in developer tools it shows they are gzip.

Can you tell me if i have set this up correctly?

Thanks!
