    I'm moving from an old server to a new one.

    In setting up the new server, one of my first steps was recompiling Apache with all of the usual modules, including mod_deflate.

    I'm getting ready to make the new server live, but I did a Gzip compression test, here:

    GIDZipTest: Web Page Compression (Deflate / Gzip) Test - GIDNetwork

    and it comes back as not compressed.

    I looked in /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf, and there's no mention of "deflate". But there's no mention of it in the httpd.conf file on my old server, either, which IS compressed.

    Am I missing a step? Or is it not compressing because the domain is pinging the old server, and then the DNS records redirect it to the new server (making the old server a proxy)?

    When you login on the cPanel side for the site's account, do you have it enabled under the "Optimize Website" icon?
