Wordpress LScache Plugin: Combined css and js files are not compressed
Last Updated on: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:02 Hello, I am facing an issue where google tells me a file served can be greatly reduced if it were to be served gzipped. The culprit is a combined css file put together by LSCache. Here are my settings: https://imgur.com/a/ScQvT I have tried enabling compression through W3TotalCache. While it reduces the overall site download size by about 20%, the main js and css combined files are still being served uncompressed. The CSS file is 1.7MB in size and google complains about a missed 81% file size decrease opportunity: https://imgur.com/a/6Kd91 Ive called the hosting company, they said gzip is enabled by default for all accounts, so I checked and indeed gzip is enabled for the website as per https://checkgzipcompression.com/ and similar tools. Here is my .htacess portion concerned with compression: # Gzip Compression AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/atom+xml application/javascript application/json application/ld+json application/manifest+json application/rdf+xml application/rss+xml application/schema+json application/vnd.geo+json application/vnd.ms-fontobject application/x-font-ttf application/x-javascript application/x-web-app-manifest+json application/xhtml+xml application/xml font/eot font/opentype image/bmp image/svg+xml image/vnd.microsoft.icon image/x-icon text/cache-manifest text/css text/html text/javascript text/plain text/vcard text/vnd.rim.location.xloc text/vtt text/x-component text/x-cross-domain-policy text/xml # END Gzip Compression Expand Is compression not supported by the plugin? Is there anything I can do to improve the google score? This topic was modified 4 years, 7 months ago by dpacks. This topic was modified 4 years, 7 months ago by dpacks.
