GZip Compression when on IIS

Permalink
I'm using a windows virtual hosting instance and I have added the code below to my web.config file, but the site is still not showing as compressed when checking it at one of the utility sites on the web.

<!-- Define your compression directory -->
  <httpCompression directory="%SystemDrive%\inetpub\temp\IIS Temporary Compressed Files">
    <!-- References a DLL that will handle your gzipping -->
    <scheme name="gzip" dll="%Windir%\system32\inetsrv\gzip.dll"/>
    <!-- Setting specific dynamic types for enabled gzipping -->
    <dynamicTypes>
      <add mimeType="text/*" enabled="true"/>
      <add mimeType="message/*" enabled="true"/>
      <add mimeType="application/javascript" enabled="true"/>
      <add mimeType="*/*" enabled="false"/>
    </dynamicTypes>
    <!-- Set gzipping for static types -->
    <staticTypes>
      <add mimeType="text/*" enabled="true"/>
      <add mimeType="message/*" enabled="true"/>

Any ideas? Thanks!

Found answer elsewhere. Had to install Dynamic Content Compression on the server then enable it by ticking it under Server features add-ons.
