I've found that application/x-javascript and application/javascript often need to be added in mime.conf

| Dec 8, 2011 at 16:07 | comment | added | John Conde♦ | Are you using the Google Firebug Pagespeed tool? Or some other tool? When I use the pagespeed tool I find I sometimes have to do a hard refresh to get fresh results. | |
| Dec 8, 2011 at 16:05 | comment | added | Keefer | The .js files are being in fact showing in Firebug as gzipped. Google's analysis is just flawed? I can't check in Firebug the ttf's though, as Firefox loads the .woff font files instead. | |

| Dec 8, 2011 at 15:54 | comment | added | Keefer | Where in Firebug will I see if the ttf and js a deflated? | |
| Dec 8, 2011 at 15:46 | comment | added | John Conde♦ | If you use Firebug you should be able to see if it is compressed or not. Check that to see if this is working or not. Also, while testing, I would use htaccess for this. Then once you're sure it is working properly update your http.conf file with the final content. It will be faster for you to test that way. | |
