Request to Enable or Verify GZIP Compression on My Hosting Account

[Anibalmarketing]

Hello,

I am contacting you regarding my hosting account at InfinityFree for the website [https://anibalmarketing.42web.io/]

I am currently using the WP-Optimize plugin on my WordPress site to improve performance. However, the plugin reports a 403 Forbidden error when trying to verify if GZIP compression is enabled on the server, specifically when accessing a CSS file.

Could you please confirm if GZIP compression is enabled by default on your servers for my account? If it is not enabled, could you advise if it is possible to activate it, or if there is any configuration I can do myself (for example, via .htaccess) to enable GZIP compression?

Enabling GZIP is essential for reducing page load times and improving user experience, so I would greatly appreciate your assistance with this matter.

Thank you very much for your help and support.

Given that this is a free shared hosting service, its not possible to activate server level processes for individual accounts.

that said, I believe GZip is activated on the infinity free servers.

Gzip Compression HTML

Our servers enforce GZIP compression by default. But to my knowledge, the decompression is done in NGINX, for which you can’t access the configuration directly. You can control some Apache parameters through .htaccess, but either you can’t edit compression settings there or compression isn’t done through Apache in the first place. Regardless of how compression is being done, the answer to your question is the same: We enforce compression by default and you don’t get to change those settings.

they are..
