To enable GZIP compression on Apache servers, you need to use its mod_filter and mod_deflate modules and configure them properly with the right directives. They will direct Apache to compress server output before sending it to clients over the network.
Double click on the file and select headers. Under 'Response headers' you are looking for the 'Connection-Encoding' field, it will say gzip if it is enabled. NOTE: By default, Deflate is enabled on all of our servers.
In your browser: In Chrome, open the Developer Tools > Network Tab (Firefox/IE will be similar). Refresh your page, and click the network line for the page itself (i.e., www.google.com ). The header “Content-encoding: gzip” means the contents were sent compressed.
Gzip on Windows Servers (IIS Manager)Open up IIS Manager. Click on the site you want to enable compression for. Click on Compression (under IIS) Now Enable static compression and you are done!
Here is my configuration for assets compression with Nginx :
gzip on;
gzip_min_length 1100;
gzip_buffers 4 32k;
gzip_types text/plain
application/x-javascript
text/xml
text/css
font/woff
application/font-woff
font/truetype
font/opentype
font/eot
application/vnd.ms-fontobject
image/svg+xml
image/x-icon;
gzip_vary on;
