We see it all the time.. slow loading CRE Loaded stores.. here are a few pieces of code that should speed up your site BIG TIME! In your root .htaccess file add this at the bottom (if you get a 500 internal server error, remove it as your host does not support it)
<IfModule mod_gzip.c>
mod_gzip_on Yes
mod_gzip_dechunk Yes
mod_gzip_item_include file \.(html?|txt|css|js|php|pl)$
mod_gzip_item_include handler ^cgi-script$
mod_gzip_item_include mime ^text\.*
mod_gzip_item_include mime ^application/x-javascript.*
mod_gzip_item_exclude mime ^image\.*
mod_gzip_item_exclude rspheader ^Content-Encoding:.*gzip.*
</IfModule>
#cache html and htm files for one day
<FilesMatch ".(html|htm)$">

</FilesMatch>
#cache css, javascript and text files for one week
<FilesMatch ".(js|css|txt)$">
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=604800"
</FilesMatch>
#cache flash and images for one month
<FilesMatch ".(flv|swf|ico|gif|jpg|jpeg|png)$">

</FilesMatch>
#disable cache for script files
<FilesMatch "\.(pl|php|cgi|spl|scgi|fcgi)$">

Thanks. I added your code to my .htaccess and got the following speed increase:
#This is without code rewrite for speed
07/04/2011 15:44:59 – allprods.php (1.309s)
07/04/2011 15:45:02 – product_info.php?products_id=576 (1.098s)
07/04/2011 15:45:05 – shopping_cart.php?&products_id=576 (0.299s)
07/04/2011 15:45:12 – order_checkout.php (2.409s)

Hi, I’m trying to implement this but have the following question:
Which .htaccess should I use. My site is under a directory /libri/ should I place it under the /homedirectory/ or the subdirectory ?
Thanks in advance,
Elvis
if you only want the store optimized then put it in the libri/.htaccess file, otherwise place it in your sites public root .htaccess file
Thanks for the prompt reply.
So even if my .httaccess under the public root folder has the following redirect?
——
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^shtepiaelibrit.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.shtepiaelibrit.com$
RewriteRule ^/?$ “http\:\/\/www\.shtepiaelibrit\.com\/libri\/” [L,R=301]

I added it but I’m still getting crummy speeds, sometimes in excess of 10s, this is very frustrating, what can I do?
