Tell me, how is deflate different from gzip? And is it possible to enable gzip and deflate compression at the same time on the site? And is it necessary?

"gzip is based on the DEFLATE algorithm, which is a combination of LZ77 and Huffman coding" - gzip is based on deflate, and deflate is implemented in PKZIP.
It's enough just to enable gzip compression.
