Compression shrinks your pages before sending them, so they load faster. On Toshost's LiteSpeed servers, Gzip and Brotli compression are usually enabled by default for text files like HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
To make sure it's active:
- On WordPress, the LiteSpeed Cache plugin handles compression automatically when caching is on.
- You can confirm compression is working by testing your site at a tool like GTmetrix or giftofspeed.com/gzip-test - it will report whether responses are compressed.
If your test shows compression is off, you can add rules to your .htaccess file, but on LiteSpeed this is rarely needed. If results still show no compression after enabling caching, open a ticket and we'll check the server-side settings for your account.
