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.

Could you post a copy of the htaccess file coding you used?
Thanks

On a small forum, this will be fine, but on a large forum the extra load it would create by gzipping everything in real time would offset the original goal of the modification, as shown by several people already.

I've personally used the htaccess rules, leaving out the modrewrite rule and redir.php.

Please make sure you read the previous post before saying the exact same thing i did and also to Deimos use this:

# Turn on Expires and set default to 0 ExpiresActive On ExpiresDefault A0 # Set up caching on media files for 1 year (forever?) ExpiresDefault A29030400Header append Cache-Control "public"# Set up caching on media files for 1 weekExpiresDefault A604800Header append Cache-Control "public, proxy-revalidate"# Set up 2 Hour caching on commonly updated filesExpiresDefault A7200Header append Cache-Control "private, proxy-revalidate, must-revalidate"# Force no caching for dynamic filesExpiresDefault A0Header set Cache-Control "no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate, max-age=0, proxy-revalidate, no-transform"Header set Pragma "no-cache"

And yes it works on ALL VERSIONS OF VBULLETIN with no problem. However if you have an ajax based shoutbox you might incur some problems, just use the code i told demios to use above and get rid of the redir.php. Lastly it works with all versions of VBSEO

Thanks Fifth
I assume it's working, no errors or anything, hehe.

That code is in one line, does not seem normal for htaccess, can you re-post the code properly as I am also interested.


or where do I put it ?

[KHALIK]

Deimos,

can you tell me where to put Fifth code?

or can you post your copy of htaccess and redir.php please.

I made "such an hack" by my lack of technology. Since I put this mod on here, I update 2 times in 3 days to correct problem. And this is my first time that I try to talk to other pepole in my poor English.

However, I'm very sorry because this mod make some of the users bothering.

May be I should not put this mod on here utill it's matured. But all I think is share "such an hack".

I think you are doing great. At current speed we should see Vbulletin 4.0 sometime around 2010. So in the meantime please keep up the good work!

This is a better example, put it in an .htaccess file in your forum root, or website root, is better if you can get it in your apache config however.

# Turn on Expires and set default to 0
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresDefault A0
 
# Set up caching on media files for 1 year (forever?)
<FilesMatch "\.(flv|ico|pdf|avi|mov|ppt|doc|mp3|wmv|wav)$">
ExpiresDefault A29030400
Header append Cache-Control "public"
</FilesMatch>
 
# Set up caching on media files for 1 week
<FilesMatch "\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|png|swf)$">
ExpiresDefault A604800
Header append Cache-Control "public"
</FilesMatch>
 
# Set up 2 Hour caching on commonly updated files
<FilesMatch "\.(xml|txt|html|js|css)$">
ExpiresDefault A7200
Header append Cache-Control "proxy-revalidate"
</FilesMatch>
 
# Force no caching for dynamic files
<FilesMatch "\.(php|cgi|pl|htm)$">
ExpiresActive Off
Header set Cache-Control "private, no-cache, no-store, proxy-revalidate, no-transform"
Header set Pragma "no-cache"
</FilesMatch>

Your code is much better than mine.

Do you mind if I take some of your code to my next version YSLOW?

This crashes my 3.7.0 forums. In the ACP, the images do not display and most of the ACP options stop working. In the forums, the images do not display at all.
