 * Hi,
    First of all: great plugin, thanks a ton! 🙂 I have one issue with it: The
   compression does not seem to be fully working anymore. Google PageSpeed Insights
   tells me to: “Activate compression” and “Reduce JavaScript” The page size given
   by pingdom.com was 1.4 MB, now is 2.2 MB (no content changes made!) Webpagetest.
   org also shows compression as no longer enabled.
 * What can I check/do?
 * Many thanks!

 * The site URL. It’s a new hoster and I haven’t transfered my domain name yet, 
   hence the funny URL. I don’t currently use CDN.

 * Probably mod_deflate.c is not installed into server.

 * Hi Emre,
 * you were right! My hoster activated it, now my page gets a score of 99 on pingdom.
   
   Great tool, much easier and better than other plugins!
 * Thanks for your quick help!
