 * Hi kadishja
 * For enable compression and leverage browsing cache.
 * if nothing happen after activating or if the changes is not reflected in the 
   google insight.
 * Try to resave the permalinks
 * Go to your settings >> permalinks >> select default and save >> and then switch
   it back to your original settings “Post name” and save it again. check again 
   the google insight
 * See faqs for more details

 *  #Gzip – compress text, html, javascript, css, xml
    <ifmodule mod_deflate.c> 
   AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/plain AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html
   AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/xml AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css
   AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xml AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/
   xhtml+xml AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/rss+xml AddOutputFilterByType
   DEFLATE application/javascript AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript
   </ifmodule> #End Gzip What do i have to do to fix this?

 * yes that is the gzip for the compression
 * so the code was in your htaccess and the problem is in your hosting/ web server
 * the best way is to contact your hosting
