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
