Hi there, compression is already available in that .htaccess However your host may not have it enabled which would be the best explanation. Another reason it may not work is if you're using somthing other than apache, like nginx.

As for combining js & css, I don't believe there is a mod available for that (I haven't checked because I just don't use vb3 anymore). But there are alternative tools that you can try that claim to get the job done.

Also it looks like you should toss a copy of the htaccess into this folder.

Looking at your test, it appears that compression is indeed enabled.... Just be aware that most offsite elements are likely to fail on these kinds of tests and you don't have much control over them when it comes to compression & caching but you can always throw in a defer tag to see if it helps them.

Also I haven't tried to login to your forum but if you're having some login issues (most people do...) be sure to do this step too.

One last thing... if you want to see more improvement I would cut down on the external resources.... You have alot, way more than the average site! I would suggest you have a look at these and decide which one's you don't need anymore. I see quite a bit of urls with "cdn" in their name, try running your site for 1 day without any cdn's transferring data, I would bet you would see improvements.
