How enable gzip compression on GoDaddy shared windows hosting - asp.net-mvc

Question

I have done research on enabling gzpi compression on GoDaddy shared windoes hosting and here is the proposed solution:
<system.webServer>
<validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false"/>
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"/>
<httpCompression directory="%SystemDrive%\inetpub\temp\IIS Temporary Compressed Files">
<scheme name="gzip" dll="%Windir%\system32\inetsrv\gzip.dll"/>
<dynamicTypes>
<add mimeType="text/*" enabled="true"/>
<add mimeType="message/*" enabled="true"/>
<add mimeType="application/javascript" enabled="true"/>
<add mimeType="*/*" enabled="false"/>
</dynamicTypes>
<staticTypes>
<add mimeType="text/*" enabled="true"/>
<add mimeType="message/*" enabled="true"/>
<add mimeType="application/javascript" enabled="true"/>
<add mimeType="*/*" enabled="false"/>
</staticTypes>
</httpCompression>
<urlCompression doStaticCompression="true" doDynamicCompression="true"/>
</system.webServer>
But this is currently not working and I am not getting http response header, Content-Encoding gzip.
Can someone help me with this?
Thanks

Adding that to my Web.Config allowed my Godaddy site to compress aspx page responses. But to compress ASMX WebService responses, I had to additionally add this to Global.asax:
void Application_PreRequestHandlerExecute(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var app = sender as HttpApplication;
var acceptEncoding = app.Request.Headers["Accept-Encoding"];
var prevUncompressedStream = app.Response.Filter;
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(acceptEncoding))
{
acceptEncoding = acceptEncoding.ToLower();
if (acceptEncoding.Contains("gzip"))
{
app.Response.Filter = new GZipStream(prevUncompressedStream, CompressionMode.Compress);
app.Response.AppendHeader("Content-Encoding", "gzip");
}
}
Response.Cache.VaryByHeaders["Accept-Encoding"] = true;
}
