The mod_deflate module provides the DEFLATE output filter that allows the output from your server to be compressed before being sent to the client over the network. mod_deflate is the replacement of mod_gzip which was used with an older version of Apache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ENABLE GZIP MODULE IN APACHE<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

       By default, a mod_deflate module is enabled in Apache. To make sure that it is enabled, check following line in Apache configuration file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LoadModule deflate_module modules\/mod_deflate.so<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
CONFIGURE GZIP COMPRESSION<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
      Now edit your apache configuration and add the extensions you want to compress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
nano \/etc\/httpd\/conf\/httpd.conf<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Add the following lines at end of the file<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text\/plain\nAddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text\/html\nAddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text\/xml\nAddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text\/css\nAddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application\/xml\nAddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application\/xhtml+xml\nAddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application\/rss+xml\nAddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application\/javascript\nAddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application\/x-javascript<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Restart Apache service,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
## CentOS ##<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo service httpd restart<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
## Ubuntu ##<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo \/etc\/init.d\/apache2 restart<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Add the following configuration in Apache Virtual Host to enable gzip compression for your website. You can also add this code in website’s .htaccess file in the site root.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<Directory \/var\/www\/html\/>\n   <IfModule mod_mime.c>\n\tAddType application\/x-javascript .js\n\tAddType text\/css .css\n   <\/IfModule>\n   <IfModule mod_deflate.c>\n\tAddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text\/css application\/x-javascript text\/x-component text\/html text\/plain text\/xml application\/javascript\n\t<IfModule mod_setenvif.c>\n\t\tBrowserMatch ^Mozilla\/4 gzip-only-text\/html\n\t\tBrowserMatch ^Mozilla\/4.0[678] no-gzip\n\t\tBrowserMatch bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text\/html\n\t<\/IfModule>\n    <\/IfModule>\n    Header append Vary User-Agent env=!dont-vary\n<\/Directory>\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
TESTING COMPRESSION<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
We have enabled gzip compression, let\u2019s use one of below online tools to verify gzip is working correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
