I'm using the following line in my .htaccess file to enable compression:
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml text/css application/javascript text/javascript application/json image/svg+xml image/jpeg
This works fine except for the initial html request. Is there a way to compress the html as well?
This is what my request looks like:
