You can enable it like this in your apache config file, or .htaccess file if enabled

<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
  AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/text text/html text/plain text/xml text/css application/x-javascript application/javascript application/json
</IfModule>

See: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_deflate.html
