    Hi there,

    I had a question about gzip compression. I’ve used Gantry previously without this issue, and I’m not sure if that affects anything, but I’m having problems enabling gzip with T3.

    This is my current .htaccess file. I’ve used this previously with sites that weren’t built on T3 and gzip has worked with no problems.

    When I test the page, no files are gzipped.

    Is this an issue with T3?

    All compress files in T3 framework are stored in [ROOT]/t3-assets folder. You have to config .htaccess file to access [ROOT]/t3-assets folder. Let me know if it helps

    Hi,

    Can you explain how should I add to the .htaccess the [ROOT]/t3-assets so it would go through the GZIP process?

    Thanks!

    gzip process will will create files into [ROOT]/t3-assets folder, that’s why you have to grant the permission to access [ROOT]/t3-assets folder. If your hosting does not allow, you have to config via .htaccess file with rule: AllowOverride ALL

    Hi Ninja Lead,

    You say that it needs to be done but you don’t explain HOW to grant permission in the .htaccess file.

    I have searched everywhere and just like omrigez I’d like to know the answer as you didn’t provide it –

    and AllowOverride ALL creates an Server Error 500 so aside from the fact that I don’t like to Override everything [not knowing what that is overriding] it would be great to know.

    Cheers,

    Emmanuel Lemor.

    Hi there
    As Ninja Lead said
    <blockquote>that’s why you have to grant the permission to access [ROOT]/t3-assets folder</blockquote>
    Please check this document to work with chmod

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chmod

    In fact , you should ask your sysadmin about this issue. It’s server side.

    Thank you,

    Hi Viet Vu,

    Thank you for replying.

    I am familiar with Chmod but the question is what SPECIFICALLY must be allowed/permitted.

    Since the site is coming up correctly the [ROOT]/t3-assets folder is accessible BUT Google PageSpeed Checker still claims that the site isn’t gzipping all that it needs to be:

    “Compressing resources with gzip or deflate can reduce the number of bytes sent over the network.

    Compressing http://www.gardinie.com/t3-assets/js/js-b675e.js?t=378 could save 232.9KiB (70% reduction).

    etc”

    as well as YSlow which also claims it’s not working.

    as an example, yet http://www.gziptest.com and http://checkgzipcompression.com/ and a few others say that it’s enabled and working.

    There are 12 un-‘gzipped’ files of which 6 are in the t3asset folder…

    Any further help would be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers,

    Emmanuel.
