How to enable GZIP through .httaccess file.

I am new to this forum. My name is Wilfred Cooray from Sri Lanka.

I have a problem in enabling GZIP of my website The Bible, Inspired Word of Eternal God".

My .httaccess file content is as follows.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^lovingword.eu3.biz$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.lovingword.eu3.biz/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*/index.html
RewriteRule ^(.*)index.html$ http://www.lvingword.eu3.biz/$1 [R=301,L]


<ifModule mod_gzip.c>
mod_gzip_on Yes
mod_gzip_dechunk Yes
mod_gzip_item_include file .(html?|txt|css|js|php|pl)$
mod_gzip_item_include handler ^cgi-script$
mod_gzip_item_include mime ^text/.*
mod_gzip_item_include mime ^application/x-javascript.*
mod_gzip_item_exclude mime ^image/.*
mod_gzip_item_exclude rspheader ^Content-Encoding:.*gzip.*
</ifModule>

Thank you.
