    When i clicked on enable Gzip, it shows the error message below:

    We successfully added Gzip compression settings into .htaccess file. However, the test file we fetched was not Gzip-compressed. Possible causes include that Apache (your webserver) is not configured to allow .htaccess files to take effect, or one of Apache modules – mod_filter or mod_deflate – is not active, or the webserver is configured to disallow Gzip compression. You should speak to your web hosting support to find how to enable it.

    I have checked that the server has mod_deflate installed, and zlib.output_compression is also set to On in the php.ini.

    I have checked if the site is compressed over at http://www.gidnetwork.com/tools/gzip-test.php and it returned a No.

    There is no cloudflare used on the site at the moment. What other settings could it possibly be for me to configure in order to get this working?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    @hanburger You can edit .htaccess file and add the following code to enable GZIP on your sevrer.

    # BEGIN WP-Optimize Gzip compression

	<IfModule mod_deflate.c>

    It has already been added to .htaccess file though.

    @hanburger Then I suspect Apache modules – mod_filter or mod_deflate – is not active on your server, please contact your host to active the mod_filter or mod_deflate on your server.
