Is gzip compression enabled on my hosting package?

Yes. All our DirectAdmin servers run LiteSpeed, which has compression enabled by default. You don't need to configure anything yourself, not even in your .htaccess.

LiteSpeed only compresses files where it makes sense, such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript and SVG. Images like JPG, PNG and WebP are already compressed and won't be compressed again. If the browser supports it, LiteSpeed uses Brotli; otherwise it uses gzip.

Want to check it yourself? Open your site in Chrome or Firefox, press F12 and select the Network tab. Reload the page and click on your page or a CSS file. Under content-encoding you'll see br (Brotli) or gzip.
