What does it do?
==============================
Add an Expires header

Adding an Expires header to your components with a date in the future makes them cacheable, reducing the load time of your pages. Certainly this should be done with images, but that's fairly typical. Go a step further and add it to scripts and stylesheets, too. This won't affect performance the first time users hit your page, but on subsequent page views it could reduce response times by 50% or more.

Gzip componentes

Gzipping all the js and css files types to reduce page weight. The greatest advantage is compressed to reduce the amount of data transmission network, thereby improving the client browser access speed. Of course, but also increase the burden on the server a little bit. Gzip is a more common form of HTTP compression algorithm.

Configure ETags

1. Client requests a page (A).
2. The server Back to A, and A to add a ETag.
3. Client display the page, and pages together with the ETag cache.
4. Customers once again request pages A, and the last request to the server to return to the ETag transmitted to the server.
5. Server checks the ETag, and to determine the page since the last client request has not been modified, to return to direct response to a 304 (Not Modified) and a response of the air.
So. ETag is a Tag to your components to see if they has been modified. If not here will be no request happened. Configure it is a good way.

Easy Install
==============================
1. Upload all the content to your forum directory.
2. There is no step two. It's done.

UNinstall
==============================
1. Remove all.
2. Done.

If
==============================
If the mod does not work,open and edit httpd.conf like this:
find:
#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
remove # as:
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
save, and restart apache, then it's should be OK.
-------------------------------------------------
IF there has a .htaccess File in your forum root directory yet, Do not cover it, open the .htaccess in the zip,copy all the code,add below your own .htaccess.

Thank you for installed.

Just 1 file inside the zip file, is this ok? I've only uploaded 1 php file and that is it?

Thanks in advance

EDIT: I use mac and OS X does not show .htacces files, could you put the htacces like .txt file? I've managed to upload it but would be good if you ad the txt file.

Xie Xie ,

tell me anything if there is something wrong by this mod.

thx.

[MikeWarner]

I will try this, but my site pretty busy (dedicated server), so I'll keep an eye on any server load this may cause. Fingers crossed, any speed increase will outweigh the increase in server load.

I uninstalled the other version to try the latest yslow and here are the bugs I have found:

*All topics do not open and just display blank pages
*When viewing user profiles, all the tabs/tables are out of line and each box shows underneath each other.
*Does not work with a chatbox

I have uninstalled this version in favour of the other one so fingers crossed you two develop something

Edit: I have uninstalled the other version as now topics do not update correctly after a new post is made (you must manually refresh the page to see the lastest post)
