gkg server is Apache, client borowser is chrome and Firefox.
At pagespeed of firefox or chrome , I couldn't see content-encoding:gzip as response headers, whereas browser requests it as accept-encoding:gzip,deflate.

gkg.net says that gzip is enable but I couldn't see it.
Is it needed to add some more code .htaccess file?
Any help aprreciated, thanks at advance.

I recently used the google page speed service and i end up in this grat website, which offers must of the information i was looking for, i just a rookie in web pages and apache stuff, now that i find your website i got a lotta more things to read, but i have a question in the gzip code you post for httaccess:

SetOutputFilter DEFLATE

I cant see the Gzip name... so this works for gzip compression cause i heard theres two type of them, deflate and the other one is gzip compression, so will this code will work for my google page speed improvement, and is there a particular place i shoul paste the code in the httaccess file? i mean before of after the rewrite cond or is it the same where i paste it?

Well, thanks for creating this website, i didnt knew there were so many ways to optimize our apache control panel, oh i almost forget to ask, does any of this "improvements" causes any problem with shae hosting?
I mean if i over optimize my apache server...

Thanks again

also works good..!!
well thanks for this
IF you want to gzip every page of your site you can also use this

php_value output_handler ob_gzhandler

but be make sure this sometimes give error or some modules will not work..!!
But if your website is static not conatin only blog and images
php_value output_handler ob_gzhandler
works great..!!

There is a ton on the net, and I found this to be the best so far.

Not too complex, and now I can add in the code and enjoy a faster site!!!

It used to be soooo slow. Not anymore! :)

p.s
great post
thanks

Thanks for that excellent addition! I hope you move away from ASP ASAP however. Enjoyed browsing your blog too, thanks for your research.

Just wondering, though... why aren't you using <!-- -->

Wouldn't that make you site even faster still? I am using it unnecessarily?
