The first tutorial up speed your website I guide up speed your site with .htaccess file. We can reduce size plain-text file like HTML, CSS, js to 70% and up speed site to 40% with when enabled Gzip, Deflate and Cache static file with .htaccess The mod_gzip supports both version webserver apache 1.3.x and 2.x Up speed site with enabled Gzip. Just add the code below to file .htaccess

  mod_gzip_on Yes
  mod_gzip_dechunk Yes
  mod_gzip_item_include file .(html?|txt|css|js|php|pl)$
  mod_gzip_item_include handler ^cgi-script$
  mod_gzip_item_include mime ^text/.*
  mod_gzip_item_include mime ^application/x-javascript.*
  mod_gzip_item_exclude mime ^image/.*
  mod_gzip_item_exclude rspheader ^Content-Encoding:.*gzip.*

If you run apache 2.x I recommended you use mod_deflate, this distributed with Apache and reduced size good than mod_gzip. Just copy code below to file .htaccess

  AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/javascript
  AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/rss+xml
  AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/vnd.ms-fontobject
  AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font
