: Can I enable GZIP on Godaddy? One of my sites lives on GoDaddy's bottom-of-the-line cheap hosting, I have the correct code in my .htaccess file, but it's not compressing because mod_deflate is

One of my sites lives on GoDaddy's bottom-of-the-line cheap hosting, I have the correct code in my .htaccess file, but it's not compressing because mod_deflate is not loaded.

How do I enable that?

The best I've found is an article on GoDaddy which suggests I use PHP to zip everything (which is going to be more work than just changing hosting companies):

Add the following code to the very top of your Web pages above the DOCTYPE:

if (substr_count($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING'], 'gzip'))
b_start("ob_gzhandler");
else ob_start();

I know this is an old question, but it shows up early on google so I thought I would answer it. You can now enable gzip on GoDaddy by adding the following to the .htaccess in your root directory.

AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/text text/html text/plain text/xml text/css application/x-javascript application/javascript

Since you have a shared hosting account there is no way to add mod_deflate since it requires making changes to Apache which you are not allowed to. So your options are to either switch hosts or use the PHP solution godaddy suggests.
