I just talked with Hostgators tech support (via chat) and was assured that they did, in fact, support both mod_gzip and gzip on their shared hosting servers. The guy then went on to say that "Compression would not really help loading speed. It is very situational, actually." Right then I knew I was in trouble. I said, "There seems to be a whole host of "geeks" online who disagree with you and swear that text compression will speed up loading time." Then he gave me a link to this site http://www.samaxes.com/2008/04/htaccess-...th-saving/ which contains some code snippets. I added the code for gzip to my .htaccess (attached here) and loaded onto my server...ran the test again and saw no improvement in the "Compress Text" score. Would you take a look at my .htaccess file and see if I made any errors.
