How to send compressed (deflated) SVG via Apache2?

Question

I have specified the following attributes in my site\'s .htaccess file:

AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE image/svg+xml
DeflateCompressionLevel 9
He         


        

Answer 1

I suspect this is due to the plus sign in the MIME type, which may need escaping in the AddOutputFilterByType directive. You can also try using the AddOutputFilter directive instead, to process all files with a certain extension:

AddOutputFilter DEFLATE svg
