    At last I finally have my site up

    Thanks to all the help, answers, mods and tutorials I have received off the Appthemes moderators

    and the community members - I have finally got my first site up.

    I wanted t to keep it clean - but how clean compared to boring?

    It is still work in progress and any comments would be welcomed.

    Hello,

    Not much to judge about the look of the site, as it is almost standard.

    But i really like the idea to offer listings for stolen items. That's simply great!

    I hope your site get's very popular! Good luck.

    Cheers
    Rolf Hassel (Samcy)

    Paid attention
    this htaccess is not working in all servers


    if not working just use it ---> block by block to found the right config

    Hi Mr Green

    Thanks for your comments and advice

    I added to my .htaccess and the overall performance score is now 77

    Is that better? or should I be doing more?

    Many thanks

    Grade F on Add Expires headers

    you can optimize to have all expire header send by you server

    • (no expires) your server/favicon.ico
    • you don't have one add one
      you cannot do better is that part all other are calling from outside


    Grade F on Compress components with gzip
    the most important part for you is here --> your hosted .css and .js (your server)


    There are 21 plain text components that should be sent compressed




    you don't have to compress one by one
    enable gzip by htaccess the best
    now all server have mod enable even is shared hosting

    Hi Mr Green

    I could not work out how to enable gzip by by htaccess so I did it in the php.ini file

    I am still trying to figure out how to add an expires to the favicon.ico

    at the moment yslow is now showing overall performance score 85

    that seems much better

    Many thanks for all your time and help

    Hi again Mr Green

    I just changed the location for the favicon - so now the server is only calling one

    and the overall performance score is now 86

    do you think it would be worth trying to combine the css files into one file or is 86 a good score

    Kind regards

    fav.ico usually at the root of server

    gzip css and js is mandatory
    you will don't recognize your site after
    that will normally put a Yslow to 90 / 91

    php.ini in some server --> yes is a solution to enable compression

    Overall performance score 74
