How to enable GZip compression in XAMPP server

Question

I am using xampp sever latest version to improve my web page performance.

I have to enable Gzip in XAMPP. How can it be done?

Answer 1

Everything what is said above does not work on my XAMPP version 1.8.1 (php 5.4.7).

The only thing that works is to put on "On" instead of "Off" these line of the php.ini file:

zlib.output_compression = On
