 * Hi,
 * I’ve got WP Super Cache enabled and set to compress pages. Google’s page speed
   analysis of various pages on my site, however, indicates that compression is 
   not enabled.
 * Not sure if WP Super Cache compresses some elements but not others, or if compression
   isn’t working correctly for me.
 * Thanks in advance for your time,
    Dan

 * Hi Dan,
 * WP Super Cache ONLY compresses the page not JavaScript, CSS or anything else.
   It also does not minify and merge JavaScript or CSS.

 * If you don’t need JavaScript and CSS minification, you can add the following 
   code to your .htaccess
 *     ```
       <IfModule mod_deflate.c>
           AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css
           AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/javascript
           AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/plain
           AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/xml
           AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/atom_xml
           AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/javascript
           AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/rss+xml
           AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xml
           AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xhtml+xml
           AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript
           AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-shockwave-flash
   
           <IfModule mod_expires.c>
               <FilesMatch "\.(js|css|ico|jpe?g|gif|png|svg)$">
                   ExpiresActive on
                   ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 years"
                   SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
               </FilesMatch>
           </IfModule>
       </IfModule>
       ```
   
 * This code sends your JavaScript, CSS and some other files to the browser compressed
