 * Hi,
    I have the latest version installed. I setup compression to on, and I see
   the change in my .htaccess file. google speed test says it’s not on. Can you 
   help? Thanks

 * You may ask your webhost, if mod_deflate is installed in the server. If it isn’t,
   no matter what you/we set up with this plugin (or any other related plugins),
   the compression won’t work.

 * Hi,
    I finally got an answer for that. It seems the server (dedicated) already

 * httpd -M | grep deflate
    deflate_module (static) Syntax OK
 * It means we have mod_deflate.
    Still can’t see compression. Any idea? Thanks

 * Hi,
 * As you have access to server root, you can copy the following code to your httpd.
   conf. In my server, I put it in a separate file and linked it to the main httpd.
   conf. Here is the code to enable compression server-wide…
 * Oops: It’s too long to paste it here. So, I’m giving the [pastebin link](http://pastebin.com/ZB8bwdcr).
 * Feel free to modify it.
