Grade F on Compress but gzip is running

  • 772

i got a litte problem with gzip

YSlow says:

Grade F on Compress components with gzip

There are 5 plain text components that should be sent compressed

Page Speed says:

Enable compression

but its active in my .htaccess:

this is my .htaccess

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Encoding} gzip
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.jgz -f
RewriteRule (.*)\.js$ $1\.js.jgz [L]
AddType "text/javascript" .js.jgz
RewriteRule (.*)\.css$ $1\.css.jgz [L]
AddType "text/css" .css.jgz
AddEncoding gzip .jgz

<IfModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 1 week"
ExpiresByType application/javascript "access plus 1 week"
ExpiresByType application/x-javascript "access plus 1 week"
ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 1 week"
ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 1 week"
ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 1 week"
ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access plus 1 year"
</IfModule>

i have my css and js zipped in the same directory.

i tested it this way: i deleted the browsercache and the style.css on my webserver. i refreshed my homepage and the css was sent by gzip with no probs

is there anything else missing?

its just a test-account and the domain is available to sunday

i don't wanna use mod_deflate because i don't want to make excessive demands of the server

.htaccess gzip yslow

  1. Have you got a URL we can look at?

    Which resources does YSlow and PageSpeed say aren't compressed?

    Also just curious why you're approaching it using URL rewriting rather than mod_deflate (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_deflate.html)
