In this guide, we are going to explain how to activate the compression of certain static contents of your website so that the aforementioned contents occupy a smaller size and the time required to download the page is reduced.<\/p>\n

By activating the GZIP<\/a> on your website, you will notice that your website loads a little faster and you will also save bandwidth. This is all advantage to you..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To follow this guide you need to have an Apache webserver with the mod_deflate module activated, this is the case of our hosting servers<\/a>, so if you have a hosting plan or reseller contracted with us you can follow the instructions in this guide.<\/p>\n

Enable GZIP compression of CSS, Javascript, XML, HTML files, etc. It is as easy as adding the following to the .htaccess file located in the root directory of your website :<\/p>\n

\n
<IfModule mod_filter.c>\r\nAddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application \/ atom + xml application \/ javascript application \/ json application \/ rss + xml application \/ xhtml + xml application \/ xml image \/ svg + xml image \/ x-icon text \/ css text \/ html text \/ plain text \/ x-component text \/ xml\r\n<\/IfModule>\r\n<\/pre>\n<\/blockquote>\n
In case you have a shared<\/a> or reseller hosting plan with us, the .htaccess file should be located at public_html \/ .htaccess.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
