In my case, Smart static files processing is checked but it's not allowed to change, why is it?
Hello @Khang Tran,
That is because Proxy Mode is disabled, and thus domain is using nginx only not using Apache at all.
If you want Apache gzip compression to be used - enable proxy mode.
Otherwise, enable compression for nginx: How to enable gzip compression in nginx on a Plesk server.
