do i need to disable gzip on admincp if i run gzip on htaccess file?

hi,

just needed confirmation on something. I have this series of code in my htaccess file.

Code:

<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
 AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/xml text/css text/plain
 AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE image/svg+xml application/xhtml+xml application/xml
 AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/rdf+xml application/rss+xml application/atom+xml
 AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/javascript application/javascript application/x-javascript
 AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font-ttf application/x-font-otf
 AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE font/truetype font/opentype
</IfModule>

i read the following:
Check your gzip settings

Gzip is a compression technology that can reduce your site's bandwidth usage and by reducing transfer times, reduce server load. ASO already has gzip enabled on their servers (unless you are on Beta on Gamma) so setting gzip in vBulletin will double gzip pages, making them load slower, so you will want to turn off gzip in vBulletin. Here for instructions for everyone who is not on Beta or Gamma:


Go to your AdminCP, expand the vBulletin Options menu and select vBulletin options. From there select Cookies and HTTP Header Options in the drop down menu. Then set "GZIP HTML Output" to No, set "GZIP Compression Level" to 0 and click Submit.


-------------------------------------


in the admincp of the forum it says;

If you are already using mod_gzip or mod_deflate on your server, do not enable this option.

in this case, would i follow the instructions above and disable gzip in admincp?

Thanks!

Hi,

This is actually a vBulletin related question instead of vBSEO, however based on all of the information you have stated then you you want to disable the setting in admincp because the gzip is already enabled on your server.
