I use the following to gzip html, css and js. AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml text/css text/javascript text/x-javascript application/javascript application/x-javascript I think this would replace the line 'SetOutputFilter DEFLATE' in your example above. If you try it let me know if it gets you any higher! I use a similar combination of things and can only get mine to B (88), i think because I have a lot of stuff going on That all looks great, but instead of gZipping the html only you should try zipping the CSS and JS files as well.
