Mod_Deflate or Gzip is not enabled on my Server
All servers should come with
mod_deflate and/or
gzip enabled. If you are experiencing any issues with these, you will need to check if
zlib.output_compression is enabled as well.
Without
zlib.output_compression, gzip or mod_deflate will fail to run.
Once it's enabled, you can confirm it's turned on by testing your website here:
