While trying to solve a problem on my website, a recommendation about my .htaccess file I got was


First of all, please check on the
server for all the different modules
if they are enabled, and once they
are, remove the


<IfModule
...></IfModule>



blocks. They are
putting an unnecessary strain on your
server.


I don't know where should I look to see if modules are active - is it in the CMS? in the httpd.conf file? in the files on my server? should I make a slight modification in the .htaccess as a test?
But more than that, could the recommendation self be not appropriate?
Thanks.

Here is the .htaccess file for which the recommendation has been made:

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
AddHandler x-httpd-php .html .htm

<ifModule mod_gzip.c>
mod_gzip_on Yes
mod_gzip_dechunk Yes
mod_gzip_item_include file .(html?|txt|css|js|php|pl)$
mod_gzip_item_include handler ^cgi-script$
mod_gzip_item_include mime ^text/.*
mod_gzip_item_include mime ^application/x-javascript.*
mod_gzip_item_exclude mime ^image/.*
mod_gzip_item_exclude rspheader ^Content-Encoding:.*gzip.*
</ifModule>

<ifModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 seconds"
