[SOLVED] apache compression Deflate .js and .css files not compressed?

apache compression Deflate .js and .css files not compressed?

In Apache Im enabling output compression by adding the following to my .htaccess file:

# compress text, html, javascript, css, xml:
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/plain
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xhtml+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/rss+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript

# Or, compress certain file types by extension:
<Files *.html>
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
</Files>

So I'm serving all content with Content-Encoding: gzip but when I test my webpage with Yslow I receive:

Grade D on Compress components with gzip

There are 3 plain text components that should be sent compressed

* http://mysite.com/javascript/youTubeEmbed/youTubeEmbed-jquery-1.0.css
* http://mysite.com/javascript/jquery.swfobject.1-1-1.min.js
* http://mysite.com/javascript/youTubeEmbed/youTubeEmbed-jquery-1.0.js

Where's the problem?Shouldn't they get compressed automatically??

thanks

Solution

Did you remember to clear your cache before reloading the page and running Yslow?

I had the exact same problem and fixed it like that. This is my code:

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