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.
-------------------------------------------------

So does this work with VBSEO as long as I do this:

Try to modify your .htaccess file:
FIND:
Code:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron)

REPLACE WITH:
Code:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron|redir\.php)

(i.e. add redir.php to the exclusion list)

[msalman]

^yes, it works. I had the same problem.

[Pirat3]

how would you know if this mod is or is not working?

[Assim]

In my .htaccess, I have some stuff written in it, so I have to copy the contents of this .htaccess and put them right under that text.

It will work that way, right?

[iogames]

can I exclude some folders from the effects of this?

[Dabbi]

Wow... this works really well... thank you so much!

[iogames]

there's a line of code where can I exclude some Folders? in those folders I have something that got ugly decomposed for yslow

[sross]

I am so happy this mod got a good fix for vbseo. I have it running now and it makes an absolutely huge difference in speed. Thanks

Happy for you, but I still want to know know why some of my non vbulletin functions got ugly decompose...
Can I exclude some folders from the effects of this hack?
I paid for those scripts and this hacks render the application useless

You may want to edit redir.php and remove the 'JS' file type. This will stop it caching javascript which resolved a lot of issues I had.
