Hey,
One of our client sites motionarray.com is reporting that 3 files aren’t being compressed.
https://motionarray.com/assets/site/js/dist/head.js https://motionarray.com/assets/site/css/dist/all.css https://motionarray.com/assets/site/js/dist/all.js
GZip is enabled on our server and we get a grade D for compression through YSlow so clearly some things are being compressed. I’m just stumped as to why these 3 files specifically aren’t being.
Our nginx.conf contains this:
##
# Gzip Settings
##
gzip on;
gzip_disable "msie6";
gzip_types text/plain application/javascript application/x-javascript text/javascript text/xml text/css;
Has anyone else experienced this?

Have you restarted nginx after making the changes to the configuration file?
sudo service nginx restart
if I download the file and compress it it compresses fine with nginx
here is my config
gzip on;
gzip_disable "MSIE [1-6]\.(?!.*SV1)";
gzip_min_length 500;
gzip_buffers 4 32k;
gzip_types text/plain text/css application/javascript application/json application/x-javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript image/svg+xml image/svg;
gzip_vary on;
its basically the same as yours but we get different results.

it could be caused by the file size not meeting your requirements (default gzip reqs.)
