I have enabled gzip compression but I have a problem..

When I go to my site http://www.domain.com and check for gzip enabled it says that it isn't, but when I go to http://www.domain.com/index.php it says gzip is enabled.

WHY???????

Obviously when i get a visitor who has typed in domain.com they are going to visit the un gzipped page resulting in a longer page load and possible loss of a user due to not wanting to wait for it to load. Is there a reason for this??

Also would there be a way for an initial visitor to goto domain.com/index.php rather than it state there at domain.com/

I've not used gzip before on my sites before coming over to xoops, but as Im increasing content etc I need my pages to load faster, when I was on static pages I could optimise each page exactly as I needed.

Any help with this would be much appreciated. Thanks

I have no idea at all if this thread will be of any help (I'm relatively certain that it does not address your specific issue - but perhaps it touches on it tangetially), but I offer it as some place to start:

https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=16786&viewmode=flat&order=ASC&start=10

It'll prob land you in the middle of the thread, so you may want to start at the beginning.

Thanks Chappy,

Putting into my .htaccess file and disabling compression in XOOPS did the trick. My pages fly now :)

You're welcome. I just requested that it be added to the FAQ, as well. Take care! Glad it did the trick...
