<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
	AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript text/css text/html text/xml
</IfModule>

Is not working, js files are not gziped. I am not sure is it server depened, it is not working on my server.

Changing it to

    <IfModule mod_filter.c>
        AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/atom+xml \
                                      application/javascript \
                                      application/json \
                                      application/rss+xml \
                                      application/vnd.ms-fontobject \
                                      application/x-font-ttf \
                                      application/x-web-app-manifest+json \
                                      application/xhtml+xml \
                                      application/xml \
                                      font/opentype \
                                      image/svg+xml \
                                      image/x-icon \
                                      text/css \
                                      text/html \
                                      text/plain \
                                      text/x-component \
                                      text/xml
    </IfModule>

Helped. Seems to be "application/javascript", not "application/x-javascript".

html5-boilerplate -- https://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplat.../.htaccess
Besides looking into headers you can check it here -- http://www.whatsmyip.org/http-compression-test/

Jquery and others js are too big to be downloaded notgziped for every user (without cache). It took me a while to figure out why my forum is slow comparing to other parts of site. I didn't thought that my root htaccess' mod_filter is overwritten here. Changing this speeds things a lot.

we use application/javascript

That is strange.

Where I can get it from? I definitively didn't edit it.

yep, it is from very old version, I thought it was downloaded from 1.8.00.

^ if you are using MyBB's internal SEF URLs then you can use content of above referred htaccess.txt from GitHub

Has this been fixed or was it a bug? Seems more like an issue with the .htaccess than with our default version.

^ yes, it is not related to MyBB.
topic moved from bugs section

Not exactly a bug, but we could add more MIMEs to the exemplary htaccess.txt, I guess (moved back).

Can we stop moving threads around, I'm confused

So this would be part of those ".htaccess improvements" that were already discussed internally?

Apparently.

I'm pushing this so we don't forget this.
