Google Pagespeed Insights says the website have "Enabled compression". But when I test the website with other HTTP/Gzip testing services they say it is not compressed. Which should I trust? Is there another way of making sure the compression is working?

Compression test results:

Glancing at http://seb.se/ it looks compressed to me in the Chrome Dev tools.  Look for content-encoding:gzip in the response headers, which appears in your responses other than your jpegs and fonts.  The fonts look like they could be compressed further by a small amount by gzipping them, but it's probably not worth it.

As far as I can tell, PSI is correct.  I can't tell what is making the other tools think your site is not compressed.

Try installing Fiddler2.

Sorry, try installing fiddler2, then browse to your site in your browser and examine your scripts, css and pages to see if they're compressed.
