No, that plugin is free.

Thanks! Trying to figure this out now.

This is all I have left to fix for speed.

Combine static CSS and JS files: 0/100
Proper cookie usage: 32/100

That vbseo cdn link should fix the proper cookie usage right?

it should as long as you point it to either:

A cookieless subdomain
A cookieless domain

You can always get a free hosting account at x10hosting and put your static there & point to it.

Where is my .htaccess file? I can find the one in my entire website root but under /forum I don't see one. Should I be using the one on my web root or do I have to create an .htaccess file?

Ok, if you want to use the one in the /public_html you can. Just add everything in the htaccess provided EXCEPT the rewrite rules. (this will provide caching for any directories contained in the /public_html folder)

Now, after that, your going to have to make a htaccess in your forum root if one isn't already there. Add the friendly url rewrites into that one and your good to go.

thanks!

I bypassed doing one in my public_html since it didn't sound like it was needed and I just created an htaccess file using code that you provided

ah ok then.

The .htaccess bit sped up my forums, but made notifications for PMs unreliable. PMs would show in the inbox and then disappear on reload. 4.1.5pl1

user keep complaining they unable to find new post so I removed it

Teach & raj, can you give me some examples?

Also, is this with htaccess alone... with vbsc alone... with htaccess & vb supercharged both used? I need some more details to help you both out.

I am not using vbseo. problem relate to forum home page only. you can find here user name test pass : 123456 http://www.mobilephonetalk.com/showt...acking-Attempt

I'm not using vb supercharged or any type of SEO that I know of. As far as the delayed PM notifications, I am using Cel Social Groups notifications. Let me know what else you need.

vbsc = vb supercharged... not vbseo

I am not using vb supercharge using vb optimize lite

You're going to have to contact vb optimize then. Thanks.

I've given this a try with the end result of
a constant cycling admin cp <-- cloudflare issue,
Login/logout issues <-- All browsers
Ads and images not appearing <-- All browsers.

Although the site was lightning fast, any suggestion mainly for the login issue and images issue, I've disabled cloudflare and the Admincp is back to normal.

I would think those issues are related to cloudflare, I set my cloudflare account up via the hostgator wizard and all that I notice is that it saves queries, doesn't serve static from their domains, combine js etc.

The issue with the admin cp I confirmed to be a cloudflare issue, because it stopped after disabling cloudflare but the others continue after modifying the htaccess file.

and I'm guessing your using vbsc or vb optimize?

Yes VBSC. on 4.1.3 pl3.

I have a feeling that vbsc might be conflicting with some of your mods, the author hasnt updated it since vb 4.0.3 and has told me that there are no plans to continue updating the mod. It has a known history of conflicting with other mods but for now it's the only plugin that I can find that combines js & css for vb4

:eek: Maybe I'll mirror the forum to a password protected forum disable all the mods, load the htaccess and start loading the mods one by one and see if I can trouble shoot this. The htaccess file and vbsc alone increased the load times to less than 2 seconds, but had the login troubles and refreshing page issues.

I'm not sure what's going on but it seems like the same thing with this guy
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....9&postcount=18

I had no problems on his site & even showed him, yet on his end, he had problems.

What if I use vbseo? How can I edit htaccess (post3) for vbseo?

You can use this with vbseo, here's how.

I haven't yet figured it out, but I am going to be setting up a new forum to complement the current one so I will further some tests on it before I open it to the public.

how could i use this with CMS?

tried to put it in the root rewriting the original httaccess, but got problems with caching similar to tech and raj problems.

thx

Hi, I don't have access to cms. Can you pm me the default htaccess that comes with the cms package?

there is no default httaccess with cms.

here's the one that my isp put there:

i have very little knowledge about httaccess file so i do hope i did not post something i should not :p

No sorry that htaccess that your isp left you won't help me look into the cms problems, thanks anyways.

Im having problems with the htaccess i get a 500 error internal server when i use it ...

Yeah, your using a CMS as well from what I can see. I don't support the cms, forum only like the title says, sorry. Also gec, I wouldn't be surprised if your issues were cookie related. You might want to check your browser & vbulletin config.

hi all i would like this to work for vb3 please can you help what do i need to do for my htccess file?

You can use this with vb3 by doing the same thing I linked to in an earlier post.

I used the htaccess file and was having some issues. New posts, articles and whatnot were not showing up on the forums unless the user refreshed the page.

I had to remove gzip and html caching for these pages to show again.

Never cache your HTML.

Gzip shouldn't cause these problems, try enabling it again without caching your HTML.

The htaccess files provided in this thread cache html.

I removed only the html caching part, and the problem was solved. Thanks!

Edit:

Remove
AddType text/html .html .htm
ExpiresByType text/html A3600

Right?

Here's what I use, does pretty much the same thing with a lot less lines.

*May not work on all server setups*
