This is a quick method with using cURL to check that Apache Compression with mod_gzip and mod_deflate is working. Only the remote server headers are needed.
Check that the Apache Compression is Working
Get headers
curl -I -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate' http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com
-I option which will make just HEAD request to server and get headers.
-H option add header for accecpt content-encondig gzip and deflate.
Check headers
### Working ### [...] Content-Encoding: gzip [...] ### Working ### [...] Content-Encoding: deflate [...] ### Not working ### [...] [...]
If gzip or deflate found from headers then compression is working.
Simple bash function to check Apache compression
Create function (add following to ~/.bashrc)
function check_compression { curl -I -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate' $1 |grep "Content-Encoding" }
