If I check my site it tells me that i need to compress https://distance2job.com/jm-ajax/get_listings/ .

I currently have this loaded in my apache2 config.

    <IfVersion < 2.4.4>
        <IfModule filter_module>
            # HTML, TXT, CSS, JavaScript, JSON, XML, HTC:
            FilterDeclare   COMPRESS
            FilterProvider  COMPRESS    DEFLATE resp=Content-Type   $text/html

        AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE image/x-icon image/svg+xml application/vnd.ms-fontobject application/x-font-ttf font/opentype
    </IfModule>

What am I missing to allow me to compress /get_listings/ ?

Hi @smsmail

I might be totally lost in Apache by now, but found some code in one of my old configs

<IfModule deflate_module>
  AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/json application/javascript text/css text/html text/javascript text/plain text/xml
</IfModule>

And make sure that you have the module mod_deflate enabled in your apache2.conf.
I don't have any Apache installations running, but will setup one if this doesn't work for you.

I think that I already have that in the config and everything else but the one url is compressing fine.
