Magento Super Fast x No Compression

[Robson]

Hello everyone, I have been using Nginx in recent months and getting good results, but today I decided to test Open LS and I am very pleased with the results, my magento site is opening instantly, TTFB 200 miliseconds without any special configuration. But I'm surprised, just as good performance, there is no compression of images, please see this test in gtmetrix:

I'm considering replacing Nginx by OLS, could someone please give me a help to solve this?

Howdy,

Glad your having such good results. The GZIP compression settings are under Server > Tuning. You can find an explanation on the Enterprise site (though these explanations are also in the WebAdmin console itself): http://www.litespeedtech.com/docs/webserver/config/tuning#enableGzipCompress

Have you tried these settings and are still not getting compression?

 

[Robson]

thank you, i will try it

This problem happens when I use OLS as reverse proxy for apache, using only OLS going alright!

Hmmm... That's interesting. I'm going to refer our technical staff to this and see if they can reproduce it.

"no compression of images" ? web server won't compress images since images already highly compressed and it'll take a lot CPU time.
may be you refer:
YSlow->Compress components with gzip and
Page Speed->Enable gzip compression

can you give us your site's URL so we can curl its response headers to get more info.

I used this as a test, This setting has been undone, I'm thinking about redoing, post here

OK. another question: why use apache as back end, to have it serve php ?
if have OLS serve php directly, it'll be much more efficient than proxy apache.
is there any feature not available at present in OLS + lsphp5 and have to use apache ?

I fully agree, but sometimes some customers want apache, because they use control panels!
