Thread: Speeding up siteloads a lot more

Speeding up siteloads a lot more

For all who're interested in making their siteloads much faster. The following tutorial I made on my centos 6.4 server with cpanel. But it's also might useful as an idea for other server types.

In WHM >> EasyApache update >> Exhaustive Options List >> enable Deflate >> enable Expires >> enable Xcache

In php configuration set both - max_execution_time and max_input_time to 36000

As next restart apache.

Then paste following in your wp .htaccess file:


# START Compression
<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
# compress text, HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and XML
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/plain
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xhtml+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/rss+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript

# remove browser bugs
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.0[678] no-gzip
BrowserMatch \bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html
Header append Vary User-Agent
</IfModule>
# END Compression

# START Expires
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
# Enable expirations
ExpiresActive On
# Default directive
ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 month"
# My favicon
ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access plus 1 year"
# Images
ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType image/jpg "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 1 month"
# CSS
ExpiresByType text/css "access 1 month"
# Javascript
ExpiresByType application/javascript "access plus 1 year"
</IfModule>
# END Expires

If you're using cachify set the cache to 672 hours.

That's it.
