thanx for the video! i regularly add new pages to my website. once i have done gzip compression, will the pages added after doing the compression also be compressed? or do i have to do it again?

[jayweeraratne]

Thanks for this! I have multiple subdomains - does this work automatically for all?

[elnurabasl]

Thank you, all those blog posts make this look so complicated!

great guide but when using google's page speed insights tool my mobile score was 75, desktop 52. After enabling gzip my new page speed score is mobile 73, desktop 53. What do you think about this?

Can u do this and work in the website at the same time? Creating posts and pages? Thanks

Hi - Can we do this even if we have a plug in like Litespeed Cache enabled ?

[DougZaga]

HI, Does adding this code to the Hosting public access file the same as adding the GZip PlugIn to my Wordpress site?

[kaitlyndeford]

Does this only work for Wordpress or does it work with HTML sites as well? I do use Cpanel but the site isn't set up through wordpress.
