Where and How to enable mod_deflate on Apache 2.4?

Terrance · Aug 5, 2016

I knew that mod_deflate will help compressing data like html, js, css before transmitting them to the visitors can speed up your sites and save you bandwidth. Recently I have updated my web server Apache on one server from version 2.2 to 2.4 but my mod_deflate rules won't work for any reasons, may be changes in the new version of Apache. So where and how to enable mod_deflate on Apache 2.4 all whole my VPS and is there a way to do that in WHM?

I saw an option in cPanel on each reseller account, it is Optimize Website > Compress All Content. Is this the same to mod_deflate?

If you are using WHM its easy.

go to : Service Configuration Apache Configuration > Include Editor > Pre VirtualHost Include

Choose from preference on the drop down menu, use all version implement settings on the whole server.

Add the code below:

Code:

<IfModule mod_deflate.c> 
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE 
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.(?:gif|ico|zip|gz|mp4|flv)$ no-gzip
</IfModule>

Note: incase you didnt know, the formats in the code above are EXCLUDED from compression.
