[Solved] GZip Compression enabled?

[Bleep]

I thought I read somewhere here (I can't remember where) that the prestashop is gzip enabled. However, I checked a few gzip compression test sites and they all show my store isn't utilizing gzip compression/decompression. I know my server allows it as I have it enabled on other sites. I know it can be simply enabled via .htacess but is it configured somewhere in the php code in prestashop? Thanks

One other question. I noticed the file version and date didn't change on the download section. Has the new version with at least the shopping cart bug been uploaded there or is it somewhere else? Thanks

Hi Graphic Services!

I thought I read somewhere here (I can’t remember where) that the prestashop is gzip enabled. However, I checked a few gzip compression test sites and they all show my store isn’t utilizing gzip compression/decompression. I know my server allows it as I have it enabled on other sites. I know it can be simply enabled via .htacess but is it configured somewhere in the php code in prestashop? Thanks

I do not understand what you mean.

"PrestaShop" is gzip enabled ?!

PrestaShop ask (but optionaly) the gzip support in order to manage archives such as translations or modules but if you do not need these features having that support disabled, or even do not having it, it is definitly not a problem.

However, I checked a few gzip compression test sites and they all show my store isn’t utilizing gzip compression/decompression.

How websites can know if you have gzip support enabled or not. Without being executed on your website path (it means that you uploaded them before by FTP) it is not possible.

I know it can be simply enabled via .htacess but is it configured somewhere in the php code in prestashop? Thanks

No, nowhere. If you have to enable it by your own (such as PHP 5 on some host provider) it will be by your own.
PrestaShop just check if it is "available" or "enabled" if you prefer.

One other question. I noticed the file version and date didn’t change on the download section. Has the new version with at least the shopping cart bug been uploaded there or is it somewhere else? Thanks

Everything's on the same archive.
See changelog for more details.

How can I enable compression to themes/default/cache?
this is what i get from PageSpeed Insights and gtmetrix.com:

Compressing the following resources with gzip could reduce their transfer size by 247.8KiB (73% reduction).

• Compressing http://www.tekcenter...894ca5515689.jscould save 152.2KiB (69% reduction).
• Compressinghttp://www.tekcenter...b9d80ce_all.css could save 80.7KiB (82% reduction).
• Compressing http://www.tekcenter...pluginDetect.js could save 14.9KiB (65% reduction).

My prestashop version is: 1.5.6.2 (Default theme)

 

my current .htaccess code is this:
