I would appreciate help with "enable compression" problem.
My site takes forever to load! I've made as many changes as my slightly-computer-illiterate brain knows how (namely ditched the social media plugin I was using for a better one), compressed images, and installed the WP Fastest Cache to help with whatever it helps with. Seriously I am clueless. The Google Page Speed Insights says this is still my main problem:
Should Fix:
Enable compressionCompressing resources with gzip or deflate can reduce the number of bytes sent over the network.
Enable compression for the following resources to reduce their transfer size by 208.3KiB (72% reduction).
- Compressing https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/rsrc.php/v2/yM/r/E6dnR... could save 208.3KiB (72% reduction).
What is the world does this mean? And how do I help it?
Thanks so much for any advice!!

I have already installed the plugin "EWWW Image Optimizer" and let it do its magic then I re-scanned the site and it still gives me this problem. Would it not include all images? Or perhaps it take some time to take effect?
