- Make sure you have compression license enabled on the F5.
- There has to be HTTP Compression profile on the right Virtual Server.
Assuming you have 1 & 2, the next to check is to make sure that the client is sending "Accept-Encoding" header with gzip or deflate - F5 supports these 2 compression methods in 10.x & 11.x
The next thing to check is to make sure you have meet the "minimum content length" and you are using the right HTTP version to check the compression. Also, look through the compression profile setting one at a time and make sure your request matches them just to be sure.
You can also force compress the request by using iRule
