How to enable gzip?

by

Have you tried with ob_gzhandler?

<?php ob_start("ob_gzhandler"); ?>
<html>
  <body>
    <p>This should be a compressed page.</p>
  </html>
<body>

As an alternative, with the Apache web server, you can add a DEFLATE output filter to your top-level server configuration, or to a .htaccess file:

<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
    AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/text text/html text/plain text/xml \
        text/css application/x-javascript application/javascript
</IfModule>

Tip: Sometimes it is pretty tricky to detect if the web server is sending compressed content or not. This online tool can help with that.

Using the developer tools in my web browser, I tested a PHP file with and without compression to compare the size. In my case, the difference was 1 MB (non-compressed) and 56 KB compressed.
