@Aldo
Yes, it should start when you modify .htaccess file. If it doesn’t work, there could be several reasons, probably related to server configuration. Also, take a look at the comment from XPC Design to see if it helps.
Many thanks.

Id didn’t work for me, should it start working as soon as you modify the .htaccess? Did I miss another step?

Fantastic! - Good call on uncommenting the zlib flag, XPC.

Someone posted a comment to my post (that refers to your solution) mentioning there’s another line of code that needs to be uncommented otherwise I don’t think these changes work.

## enable resulting html compression

php_flag zlib.output_compression on

It depend if Apache is 1.3 or 2.0. I have Apache 1.3 and i have to use mod_gzip setting in htaccess:

mod_gzip_on Yes

What a difference far faster, i’m not 100% sure but this htaccess setup should work on any website!

AC-k3v, yes Magento v 1.1.6 has the coding in the htacess, however it is in a comment block and needs editing out.
