The first tutorial up speed your website I guide up speed your site with .htaccess file. We can reduce size plain-text file like HTML, CSS, js to 70% and up speed site to 40% with when enabled Gzip, Deflate and Cache static file with .htaccess The mod_gzip supports both version webserver apache 1.3.x and 2.x Up speed site with enabled Gzip. Just add the code below to file .htaccess
mod_gzip_on Yes
mod_gzip_dechunk Yes
mod_gzip_item_include file .(html?|txt|css|js|php|pl)$
mod_gzip_item_include handler ^cgi-script$
mod_gzip_item_include mime ^text/.*
mod_gzip_item_include mime ^application/x-javascript.*
mod_gzip_item_exclude mime ^image/.*
mod_gzip_item_exclude rspheader ^Content-Encoding:.*gzip.*
If you run apache 2.x I recommended you use mod_deflate, this distributed with Apache and reduced size good than mod_gzip. Just copy code below to file .htaccess
