Thanks a lot The .htaccess way didn’t work when I tried it– maybe because bluehost doesn’t like it? (Even though otherwise changes I make to htaccess seem to work just fine)

BTW, here’s a way to check whether gzip is working: http://www.whatsmyip.org/http_compression/

freezonal: Guys at wordpress believe that their optimisations are good enough and Gzipping is not required. Unfortunately themes are badly designed, thats why pages are bloated and gzip is still required.

Website hosting: If you’re on Apache you can just use .htaccess

I use the plugin Gzip Output on my website hosting blog. It works only partly. Does anyone know a better solution?

thank for this great article about gzip in wordpress. But actually why wordpress by default is not Gzip enabled?
