Setting .htaccess for wordpress?

Question

PHP

Hello! Please tell me, explain... how to properly set up .htaccess on wordpress. I need to enable compression, add the following code

# BEGIN GZIP COMPRESSION
<IfModule mod_gzip.c>
mod_gzip_on Yes
mod_gzip_dechunk Yes
mod_gzip_item_include file \.(html?|txt|css|js|php|pl)$
mod_gzip_item_include handler ^cgi-script$
mod_gzip_item_include mime ^text/.*
mod_gzip_item_include mime ^application/x-javascript.*
mod_gzip_item_exclude mime ^image/.*
mod_gzip_item_exclude rspheader ^Content-Encoding:.*gzip.*
</IfModule>
# END GZIP COMPRESSION

and nothing shrinks!
I also googled this ideal .htaccess code, but with it the site does not load at all and gives an error!

Options +FollowSymLinks -Indexes

Perhaps someone has the perfect htaccess for wordpress, I will be grateful for the help!)

Answer 1

You need to shove in htaccess what you understand. If you misunderstood the line - google, the sea of ​​information.
Because not every "ideal" htaccess will suit your hosting.
ps: and this one is generally from joomla

Answer 2

The question that will determine your problem,
Do you have shared hosting? Not VPS?
In shared hosting, the htaccess file does not allow you to influence the server settings, the only thing that can be configured in it is the maximum php caching that can be implemented without it.
Even image caching is not available.
