what does "Optimize website" actually do?

If I enable Optimize Website for select MIME types in cpanel, does it just add something like the following to the .htaccess files in that account; SetOutputFilter DEFLATE Or does it do more than this? Also, how can I check whether mod_deflate is enabled? And how do I set the server to cache the gzip files?

  If you have root access of your Cpanel server then use the below command and it will show you the results of mod_deflate [root ~ ]# httpd -M | grep deflate deflate_module (static) [root ~ ]#

  Hello, Yes, using this feature simply populates the default settings to the .htaccess file in account's home directory. The following thread should help if you want to verify compression is working: Compression not working Information on the additional options available if you'd like to customize the entries in the .htaccess file is available at: mod_deflate - Apache HTTP Server Version 2.4 Thank you.
