Store Optimizer Installed And Running But No Gzip Compression ?

General Forums General Questions
#1

Running 3.0.6

Grabbed Store Optimizer from Marketplace store.

Installed it ( although no Settings available in Add ons ).

Seems to have sped things up a little according to gtmetrix

but tested site elsewhere and found 'no gzip compression'.

Is Store Optimizer supposed to do this gzip compression ??

#2

no gzip is seperate,

You can do it various ways…through cpanel, via .htaccess etc. If you search for it you could give it a go. Some things like certain addons dont like it but give it a go.

gzip compression is in the distributed .htaccess with the cart.

#4

Thanks guys.

I examined the htaccess file at the root ( which I presume to be

where all the cart folders are one level down from public_html ) but

can't find any mention of gzip.

Too easy I guess…lol

Did you mean ADD code to the file as per http://forum.cs-cart…cart-version-3/ ??

( I couldn't find any mention of gzip in the suggested code )

#5

There is a configuration file in the smartoptimizer folder where you can enable/disable gzip. It should be enabled by default.

#6

Yes…yes…no… :(

No config file found and no occurrence of ‘gzip’ in any file.

My (upgraded) V4 environment has the following in the .htaccess. Whether it's there in the currently distributed .htaccess I don't know.




AddEncoding gzip .gz
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} \.(js|css)$
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-encoding} gzip
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.gz -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.gz [QSA,L]



ForceType text/css
Header set Content-Encoding: gzip
Header set Cache-control: private



ForceType text/javascript
Header set Content-Encoding: gzip
Header set Cache-control: private



Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"

Thanks tbirnseth.

No such file in 3.0.6

I have approached my web host to enable Website Optimizer in my cPanel plus

quizzed Marketplace. Awaiting responses.

Thanks for all your help to date.

#9

Sorry, thought you were discussing V4. Same .htaccess code will work. It has nothing to do with cs-cart or php. It's done at the web-service level (I.e. Apache).

#10

The Store Optimizer add on seemed to improve things.

Activating 'Optimize Website' in my cPanel made it better again.

My bad. I confused “Store” with “Smart”.
