Answer 1

Best option I found is to compress everything except images, which mod_deflate isn't able to handle it.

add following lines to httpd.conf file:

LoadModule deflate_module modules/mod_deflate.so

SetOutputFilter DEFLATE

BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html

BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.0[678] no-gzip

BrowserMatch \bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html

SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \

\.(?:gif|jpe?g|png|exe)$ no-gzip dont-vary

If u want to see logging of what was compressed add the following also:

DeflateFilterNote Input instream

DeflateFilterNote Output outstream

DeflateFilterNote Ratio ratio

LogFormat '"%r" %{outstream}n/%{instream}n (%{ratio}n%%)' deflate

CustomLog logs/deflate_log deflate
