 * Hi, I am using a shared host, so they are unable to disable gzip/zlib compression
   on the server. Is there any other method I can use with the .htaccess file to
   do the same? Or options? The plugin has already speed up our site a lot. So I
   am happy with it, but if we can also enable this option to compress via the wp
   super cache that would be great.
 * Thank you
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fzlib-compression-2%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * It will only make a small difference in speed to have the cached pages compressed
   already so I wouldn’t worry about it. However, you’ll need to ask your hosting
   provider if they can disable compression in some way.
