Hi @vantuykomn,

What error message are you getting? Do you have required server modules installed?

Best regards,
Anton

I get :
Gzip is not working properly:

– Your server may not have the “deflate” module enabled (mod_deflate for Apache, ngx_http_gzip_module for NGINX)
– Another plugin may be interfering with the configuration
If re-checking and restarting does not resolve, please check with your host or open a support ticket with us.

I’ve checked with my host and everything should be properly installed…

If all the modules have been installed, the next step would be to check that the appropriate rules have been added to the .htaccess file. It is located in the same folder with wp-config.php file.

this is whats in my .htaccess

That’s the correct code. Could you please post your complete .htaccess file? Maybe there are some conflicting rules.

If the .htaccess file is correct and there’s nothing conflicting in it, then the issue is somewhere in the server configuration.

And can you also try to replace Hummingbird rules with these and click on ‘re-check status’ button:
```
<ifmodule mod_deflate.c>
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/text text/html text/plain text/xml text/css application/x-javascript application/javascript text/javascript
</ifmodule>
```

These are correct. I don’t see any issues with the .htaccess file. Your host must be overriding these values or the required server modules are not installed. Could you please try asking the hosting company why your rules in .htaccess file are not applied to gzip compression. You can send them the content of the file for reference.

Best regards,
Anton
