Hello futureweb, do you use nginx in proxy-mode with Apache ?
For apache only you can add the following options in your .htaccess :

<IfModule mod_gzip.c>
   mod_gzip_on Yes
   mod_gzip_can_negotiate Yes
   mod_gzip_static_suffix .gz
   AddEncoding gzip .gz
   mod_gzip_update_static No
   mod_gzip_command_version '/mod_gzip_status'
   mod_gzip_temp_dir /tmp
   mod_gzip_keep_workfiles No
   mod_gzip_minimum_file_size 500
   mod_gzip_maximum_file_size 500000
   mod_gzip_maximum_inmem_size 60000
   mod_gzip_min_http 1000
   mod_gzip_handle_methods GET POST
   mod_gzip_item_exclude reqheader "User-agent: Mozilla/4.0[678]"
   mod_gzip_item_include file \.html$
   mod_gzip_item_include file \.htm$
   mod_gzip_item_include file \.php3$
   mod_gzip_item_include file \.php$
   mod_gzip_item_include file \.js$
   mod_gzip_item_include file \.css$
   mod_gzip_item_include mime ^text/
   mod_gzip_item_exclude mime ^httpd/unix-directory
   mod_gzip_item_exclude mime ^image/
   mod_gzip_dechunk Yes
   mod_gzip_add_header_count Yes
   mod_gzip_send_vary Yes
</IfModule>

If you use nginx in proxy-mode for Apache , add the following code in Additional nginx directives :

# Enable Gzip compression
gzip on;
gzip_disable "msie6";
 gzip_vary on;
 gzip_proxied any;
 gzip_comp_level 6;
 gzip_buffers 16 8k;
 gzip_http_version 1.1;
 gzip_types
 application/atom+xml
 application/javascript
 application/json
 application/rss+xml
 application/vnd.ms-fontobject
 application/x-font-ttf
 application/x-web-app-manifest+json
 application/xhtml+xml
 application/xml
 font/opentype
 image/svg+xml
 image/x-icon
 text/css
 text/plain
 text/x-component
 text/xml
 text/javascript;

hey virtubox,
thx for you answer - no nginx active. So no direct possibility within Plesk ... ok - guess the .htaccess Way is also doable by our customers which ask for mod_gzip ... ;-)
Same with mod_deflate I guess ...

<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
    AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/text text/html text/plain text/xml text/css text/javascript application/javascript
</IfModule>

thx
Andreas

 

[futureweb]

btw) inserted it into Plesk "Web Server Settings" ... so it won't conflict with Users .htaccess ...

Would be great if one could create such Settings within Service-Plans - Addons ...

 

[futureweb]

anyone also thinking Apache Settings as Addons would be a great Feature ... please Upvote! ;-)

Apache Settings as Service Plan - Addons

Hello futureweb, you can add Apache and Nginx settings for your service plans :

 

[futureweb]

Hey virtubox,
but not as Addons - or did I overlook something here?!?
Andreas

 

[virtubox]

No addons will use the same settings than your service plan. But gzip should always enbled so it may not be required to have more apache settings in Addons plans

 

[futureweb]

mod_gzip/mod_deflate is just an example ... some of our Customers need mod_geoip, mod_whatever ... Modules which I don't want to activate for all Customers - so Apache Directives within Addons would be (IMHO) really cool ... ;-)

If Apaches modules are enabled, additional settings should be set with .htaccess files. Or you will have to create hundred addons for each module.
