Mod_deflate.c - causing Error 500

Hi,

My WordPress site is incredibly slowly, and as part of looking into this, I found this advice from 000webhost:

Strangely, this points to using mod_deflate.c which I have never managed to get working on 000webhost. As it’s quoted by 000webhost, I’m thinking it’s worth a topic to see if there’s something I’m doing silly!

Adding the snippet in the article, or the following to .htaccess causes an error 500. Anyone got any idea why?

<FilesMatch “.(js|css|.jpg|.gif|.png|.tiff|.ico|.htm|.php|.inc|.xml)$”>
SetOutput DEFLATE

I’ve pinged the developers to check all settings are correct to allow mod deflate to work without issue and they will hopefully resolve it or offer advice on what is not working and maybe change the “tutorial”
