Mod_deflate is an apache (web server) module which basically compresses files before sending them to your users.
Normally if someone was to access a page on your website it would be uncompressed. If Mod_deflate is enabled, it is first compressed before being sent out.
Mod_deflate can help save bandwidth and can actually increase the speed of your website since less traffic needs to be sent.
First, you will need to click Optimize Website in cPanel.
For novice users we suggest simply having all content encoded. If you are an advanced user you could use the mime type function. An example is below.
Click update settings and you're done. The change should be instant.
