Enable compression and caching of SVG files in .htaccess file
<p>When I analyze my website with Google PageSpeed Insight, I should fix some problems regarding compression of SVG files.</p>

<p>I've been looking all around the web trying to find a solution on this problem, but no matter what I do it doesn't seem to work, so therefor I'm now asking you guys. </p>

<p>I've checked if gzip is enabled through multiple tools on the web, and that seem to be true.</p>

<p>So far I got this in my .htaccess file. </p>

<pre><code>RewriteEngine On
Options FollowSymLinks

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /#/$1 [L]

AddType     image/svg+xml              svg svgz
AddEncoding gzip                       svgz

## EXPIRES CACHING ##
&lt;IfModule mod_expires.c&gt;
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresByType image/jpg "access 1 month"
ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access 1 month"
ExpiresByType image/gif "access 1 month"
ExpiresByType image/png "access 1 month"
ExpiresByType text/css "access 1 week"
ExpiresByType text/html "access 1 day"
ExpiresByType application/pdf "access 1 month"
ExpiresByType text/x-javascript "access 1 month"
ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access 1 month"
ExpiresByType image/svg "access 1 month"

&lt;/IfModule&gt;

<p>I really hope for someone to come up with a solution to my problem since I've tried myself for several hours.</p>

<p>Browser caching doesn't work for SVG neither. Maybe there are a similar problem?</p>
