Delfate compression is similar to GZIP compression. It compresses the HTML of your site content which is then decompressed by the browser. This equates to faster page load times.

Mod_deflate Compression Testing The Domain Name

For starters, you’ll need to check whether your site needs compression. There are numerous ways to check that, but for the purpose of this article we will this HTTP compression site http://www.whatsmyip.org/http-compression-test/.

On that page type the domain name inside the input box and click on “Test”.

Inspect The Results

After testing, you’ll need to analyze the results you got. The test will show you the page size, possible compressed page size and the percentage of potential savings.

If the results suggest that compression will be helpful, move on to the next step.

Finding The .htaccess File

Before accessing the .htaccess file, make sure that all the files in your cPanel file manager are visible.

To do so, you must enter your cPanel File Manager.

If a dialogue box appears and there’s a “show hidden files” checkbox, verify that it is checked.

If you do not see the dialogue box, you may be able to access the settings menu in the upper right corner of the File Manager. In there check the box to show the hidden files.

Paste The Code Inside The Code Editor

Without disturbing existing code in the file, just paste in the code below.

The contents of your .htaccess file inside the code editor should look something like this.

Now click on “Save Changes”.

Verifying Compression Is Working

Finally, go back to the URL from the first step: http://www.whatsmyip.org/http-compression-test/ and check whether your site is now compressed.

If you see a green check mark like in the screenshot, congratulations. Your site is now being served compressed which makes it load faster.
