 * thanks for this amazing plugin!
    after installing, score of everything went up
   on gtmetrix except gzip! gzip compression score was 100% before but after using
   this plugin, it became 0 and the reason was a very big CSS file created by the
   plugin. even tho gzip for CSS files was activated. can u help me fix this issue?

 * Hi Igland,
 * Does your host support gzip? You can easily check it here: [https://checkgzipcompression.com](https://checkgzipcompression.com)

 * yes i said it. gzip codes are in my .htaccess and works fine.
    “You’re blessed!
   It’s GZIP Enabled.”
 * but when I active this plugin, gtmextrix gives me E score on pagespeed score 
   and this error :
    “Enable compression for the following resources to reduce their
   transfer size by 1.6MB Compressing: [https://www.lgland.net/…/29554-496845154.css&#8221](https://www.lgland.net/…/29554-496845154.css&#8221);

 * I think that might be a false positive.. your site looks like it has brotli encoding
   installed which gtmextrix might not support.
 * Also, that file isn’t the minified version.. you will need to wait for the css
   files to compress before getting the benefit.
