  • Do you host the pages yourself or via shared hosting provider?

    Generally, the server will do GZIP compression automatically? If you can update the server yourself I recommend getting Google Pagespeed which you can recompile into Nginx. If you host using Apache, I am sure there is a port you can just import. This makes your pages fly.
  • It's done on the server, not by wordpress.

    Add the following to your .htaccess file before # BEGIN WordPress

    Code:
    # compress text, html, css, xml, javascript:
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/plain
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xhtml+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/rss+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript
    If that doesn't work, you need to check with your hosting, they need to have Apache set to allow you to do it. Also they could set Apache to gzip everything compressible, which would be the best way for it to be done.
