How do I configure GZIP or Brotli compression in cPanel?
Compression reduces file sizes before sending them to browsers, cutting bandwidth usage 30-70% and improving page load speed. Brotli (newer) compresses 15-25% better than Gzip for text content. Enable in Connect Quest cPanel .htaccess via the .htaccess editor: for Gzip add <IfModule mod_deflate.c>, AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/css application/javascript application/json; for Brotli (if supported) AddOutputFilterByType BROTLI_COMPRESS text/html text/css. LiteSpeed servers on Connect Quest support both Gzip and Brotli natively — enable in cPanel > LiteSpeed Web Cache > Configuration > Compression. Verify compression is working with: curl -I -H "Accept-Encoding: gzip" https://yourdomain.com and check for Content-Encoding: gzip in response headers. All Connect Quest shared plans include this at connectquest.co.in.
