PHP 7.0.22 : mod_deflate enabled & .htaccess in place but doesn't seem to do anything – Plesk

I have a website setup using Plesk within PHP 7.0.22 being run as FPM application served by Apache.

So far everything has been running great however when I attempted to enable compression within .htaccess as I normally would nothing appears to be compressed.

#SERVER COMPRESSION
<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
  SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
  AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html
  AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css
  AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/javascript
  AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/xml
  AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/plain
  AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE image/x-icon
  AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE image/svg+xml
  AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/rss+xml
  AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/javascript
  AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript

# 1 day for most static assets
<ifModule mod_headers.c>

</ifModule>

I contacted the server admin to enquire incase the mod_deflate module wasn’t enabled but have been assured that it is, having been given screen shoots as proof.

Kind of stumped at this point any ideas where I should go from here?

    Turns out it was because the hosting environment was setup using a mish mash of both Apache & Nginx.

    The server admin updated the Nginx directives to enable compression.

    This may be a silly question and I’m not sure which version of Plesk you are using, but:

    • Do you have a “Apache & nginx Settings” icon in Plesk?
    • If so, is “Serve static files directly by nginx” disabled? If not, try disabling it and see if it makes a difference.*
    • You can also try playing with the other proxy checkbox options.

    *(If mod_pagespeed is enabled, it would be better to leave it enabled but only have “htm html” in it, else they will appear blank.)
