I just got around to installing mod\_deflate on my server. I also added the following to my Website Optimizer in cPanel:

text/html text/plain text/xml text/css text/js text/javascript

Now, the site shows considerable improvement in loading time (almost 3x!), but ySlow is still giving me an "E" rating for "Compress Components with gZip". It shows 4 .js components not being Compressed.

The problem is that the whole website except the .JS components is being gZipped properly. Everything else, including the inline javascript, HTML and other MIME types have been Compressed. I've not added anything to the htaccess, since I think Website Optimizer takes care of it. But I'm still not able to figure out what the problem is?

Any ideas?

Thanks,

B.
