GZIP Not enabled?

(@tgo_dc)

Thanks!

I’ve added this now.

Hope it works! 🙂

Will test again in one hour.

It seems that doesn’t work.

Headers show nginx and Plesk as server. I’m not sure is it reason. You could see https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/213380049-How-to-enable-gzip-compression-in-nginx-on-a-Plesk-server or contact your host for more details.

Okay, I’ve edited my nginx ad added the below to the additional directives section.

Will see how this goes! 🙂

gzip on;
gzip_disable &quot;MSIE [1-6]\\.(?!.*SV1)&quot;;
gzip_proxied any;
gzip_comp_level 5;
gzip_types text/plain text/css application/javascript application/x-javascript text/xml application/xml application/rss+xml text/javascript image/x-icon image/bmp image/svg+xml;
gzip_vary on;

Tested here, and it says GZIP is enabled at 85% compression:

I think I’m good now? What do you think?

I didn’t test all files. Also you need to check that serving supercache files works correctly (without double gzip compression). I didn’t notice it, but you need to double check it (you will see message in browser, so you could easy notice it). Please try different browsers for URLs which are already cached.

Thanks. I will leave it 2-3 hours and test a number of pages in different browsers.

Is it possible WP Super Cache makes setup easier for those using nginx instead of Apache?

I’ve checked your website and it seems that compression works as should.

I can’t answer what we could improve related to nginx, but maybe we could try to write better instructions for setup. Also, it’s tricky because there should be a lot of testing. I’ll try to do something if I find enough spare time.

Great, thanks

What site do you use to test for compression?

I have used Pingdom, but it’s giving incorrect info I believe.

GTmetrix shows URLs where compression don’t work. It requires patience because you need to wait few minutes, but I think that shows more details than pingdom.

Enable compression for the following resources to reduce their transfer size by 49.3KiB (76% reduction).

Compressing https://www.eventbrite.ie/static/widgets/eb_widgets.js could save 45.3KiB (77% reduction).
Compressing https://cdn.geni.us/snippet.min.js could save 3.9KiB (71% reduction).
Compressing https://stripensrq.global.ssl.fastly.net/s/o could save 53B (16% reduction).

Maybe you could try to replace these external files. I don’t know. I use CNDJS to optimize loading scripts/styles (if they exist on cdnjs).
