I have a website that is hosted on an nginx server with gzip compression enabled. If I check my website on http://gzipwtf.com/, I see that only 2 files out of 7 are compressed. First I tought that maybe something is wrong with the filename/pattern, but I could not figure out why certain files are compressed and others not. There is no connection between file-type, filename, file-location and compression. It's not only js files or css files not working. Both types work.. but not for every file. I have the following files:
- css/sb.min.css (compressed)
- css/style.min.css (not compressed)
- css/jquery.mcustomscrollbar.min.css (not compressed)
- js/jquery.mcustomscrollbar.concat.min.js (not compressed)
- js/jquery.sidebar.min.js (not compressed)
- js/jquery.min.js (not compressed)
- js/sbhandlers.js (compressed)
I also checked in the DeveloperTools of Google Chrome. The Request Header was on each file like this:
Accept:*/*
Accept-Encoding:gzip, deflate, sdch
Accept-Language:en-US,en;q=0.8
...
But as to expect only the two compressed files had this in the Response Header:
Content-Encoding:gzip
I have absolutely no idea why only two files are compressed. I already wrote to the support of the webhoster, but he said everything is configured correctly.
Am I missing the point?! Thanks for your help!
