    So we have WP optimize installed and working wonderfully in all aspects other than gzip compression.

    We are getting the following error:

    ___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 web server is configured to disallow Gzip compression. You should speak to your web hosting support to find how to enable it.___

    We have Cloudflare in the mix ,and have Brotli compression enabled, along with the Minify options. We checked the htaccess and its got the correct entries added by WP Optimize.

    We can change other htaccess parameters and they work on the front end (We are on CPanel and WHM) so we know that htaccess is enabled across the board.

    I figure this is a false positive and we can just ignore it?

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

    Hi there,

    If you’re using Cloudflare, then the GZIP settings won’t do much, UNLESS if you also have WooCommerce active, as it tells Cloudflare to deactivate compression (we’ve opened an issue with them to fix this).

    BUT WP-Optimize should have detected that the site was behind Cloudflare…
