Question

I am using xampp sever latest version to improve my web page performance.

I have to enable Gzip in XAMPP. How can it be done?

Answer 1

Find apache\conf\httpd.conf

uncomment the following line(remove #)

LoadModule headers_module modules/mod_deflate.so

some versions may require you to comment out the following lines instead.

LoadModule headers_module modules/mod_headers.so
LoadModule deflate_module modules/mod_deflate.so

finally add this line to your .htaccess file.

SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
