The mod_deflate is an Apache web server module that provides the DEFLATE output filter that allows output from your server to be compressed before being sent to the client over the network.

The mod_deflate is an Apache web server module that provides the DEFLATE output filter that allows output from your server to be compressed before being sent to the client over the network.

Simplest configuration is made by putting the following line in the .htaccess file: 

AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml

The following configuration, while resulting in more compressed content, is also much more complicated. Do not use this unless you fully understand all the configuration details. Compress everything except images:

<Location />
    # Insert filter
    SetOutputFilter DEFLATE

    # Netscape 4.x has some problems...
    BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html

    # Netscape 4.06-4.08 have some more problems
    BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.0[678] no-gzip

    # MSIE masquerades as Netscape, but it is fine
    BrowserMatch \bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html
    # Don't compress images
    SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \
    \.(?:gif|jpe?g|png)$ no-gzip dont-vary

    # Make sure proxies don't deliver the wrong content
    Header append Vary User-Agent env=!dont-vary
</Location>
