    Edit your .htaccess file located in your public_html folder to include:

    Code:
    RewriteEngine On

<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
        <FilesMatch "\.(css|js|php)$">
	SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
	</FilesMatch>
</IfModule>
    You can change / add file formats easily enough... notice the bold red area

    Additionally, you can test to make sure that all is working after implementing this change with this tool.

      GZIP is based on DEFLATE and adds some additional header stuff. In my experience, DEFLATE performs better overall and is more widely supported on shared hosting plans.

      You'll probably find at least one person with a different experience to share. =) Hope this helped!
