Debugging Compression Warnings

If Gzip or Brotli Compression is enabled but not functioning correctly, it usually indicates missing server-level support.

32.1 Problem #

Compression is enabled in SpeedyGo settings, but files are not being compressed.

This typically occurs when the server lacks:

• zlib (required for Gzip)
• Brotli module (mod_brotli for Apache or Brotli module for NGINX)

If required modules are missing, SpeedyGo will display a clear warning message inside the dashboard.

32.2 Solution #

Contact your hosting provider and request:

• PHP compiled with zlib support
• Apache with mod_brotli enabled

OR

• NGINX compiled with Brotli module

Without server-level support, compression cannot function regardless of plugin configuration.

32.3 Verification Steps #

• Check browser DevTools → Network → Content-Encoding header
• Look for gzip or br
• Use online compression testing tools if needed

Compression warnings indicate server configuration issues, not plugin malfunction.
