 * Hi all,
 * I’m using WP Super Cache but when I activate for example WP Fastest Cache, it
   enables Gzip compression but Super Caches doesn’t while I’m checking the compression
   tick.
 * I really don’t want to switch to another plugin because WP Super Cache is my 
   favorite, so can anyone please help me enable compression? I tried to add compression
   deflate to my htaccess, yet it doesn’t change anything.
 * I’m using this tool to test: [https://base64.guru/tools/gzip-test](https://base64.guru/tools/gzip-test)
 * My website is: [https://mercatoday.com](https://mercatoday.com)
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fgzip-isnt-working%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * I’m not sure what’s going on with that gzip tester, but if you try [https://www.giftofspeed.com/gzip-test/](https://www.giftofspeed.com/gzip-test/)
   you’ll see that gzip is enabled.
