I discovered that my server isn't serving up compressed pages.
Using this answer, I added the following to my httpd conf file:
# Declare a "gzip" filter, it should run after all internal filters like PHP or SSI
FilterDeclare gzip CONTENT_SET
# "gzip" filter can change "Content-Length", can not be used with range requests
FilterProtocol gzip change=yes;byteranges=no
# Enable "gzip" filter if "Content-Type" contains "text/html", "text/css" etc.
FilterProvider gzip DEFLATE resp=Content-Type $text/html
FilterProvider gzip DEFLATE resp=Content-Type $text/css
FilterProvider gzip DEFLATE resp=Content-Type $text/javascript
FilterProvider gzip DEFLATE resp=Content-Type $application/javascript
FilterProvider gzip DEFLATE resp=Content-Type $application/x-javascript
# Add "gzip" filter to the chain of filters
FilterChain gzip
Next, I issued
apachectl configtest
which yielded this error:
Invalid command 'FilterDeclare', perhaps misspelled or defined by a
module not included in the server configuration
Here's output from httpd -l
Compiled in modules:
core.c
prefork.c
http_core.c
mod_so.c
What module(s) do I need to install to get page compression working? I am running CentOS 6.6.
