To compress all your website's content:

  1. Select the Compress all content option.
  2. Click Update Settings.

To compress only certain types of content:

  1. Select the Compress the specified MIME types option.
  2. In the MIME types text box, enter the types of content you wish to compress.

    • note Note: It is not beneficial to compress images because image formats are already compressed.

For more information about the software module that handles compressing content for your website, you will need to know which version of the Apache web server software is running on the server. You can find this information on the main cPanel home screen, in the Server Stats box.

cPanel saves your settings to a .htaccess file in your home directory. You can customize these settings using the Apache FileMatch directive.
