GZIP active only for html (no text compression for css, js…)

    Hello! On my website https://www.ontheastralroad.com/ I have activated “Compress pages…”. Unfortunately, GZIP is working only with the home page, but all the other assets were uncompressed (I tested them here: https://www.giftofspeed.com/gzip-test/). I have tried multiple times with no results. I also tried w3 total cache, which immediately worked compressing all assets.

    Since I really would prefer to use WP Super cache, I ended up adding this to htacces:

    <IfModule mod_deflate.c>

AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html

AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css

AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/javascript

AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/xml

etcetera...

    My question is: is this behaviour to be expected? Does WP Super cache compress only the html of the pages? Is it possible to activate text compression globally, or should I always modify the htaccess file?

    Thanks a lot for your help!

    Ernesto

    This is expected because WP Super Cache only works on the HTML of your site. You should check out Jetpack Boost which does amazing things to CSS and JavaScript. You can use both plugins at the same time as they do different things.
