# Compressing transfer?

 * The site speed test at [http://www.webpagetest.org](http://www.webpagetest.org)
   says that the transfer compression isn’t enabled on my site.
 * I’ve selected and saved the ” Compress pages so they’re served more quickly to
   visitors.” option on the advanced settings page.
 * This leaves me with questions. Did I manage to blow the setup, or is there a 
   glitch in WP Super Cache? Alternately, should I install the GZip Super Ninja 
   plug-in.
 * Thanks!
    Mike

 * Thank you very much! I know what I’ll be doing tonight – editing and benchmarking!(
   Hope I have enough, but not too much, beer.)

 * Too fast for me to benchmark. However, [http://www.webpagetest.org](http://www.webpagetest.org)
   still says that the transfer compression isn’t enabled on my site.
 * Do I need WordPress/Apache to be restarted for this to take effect?
 * Thanks!
