There are several steps to improve your page loading speed. I will go over a few steps that will improve your site's loading time.

Step 1: Tweak your htaccess.
Open the htaccess file in your forum root and add the following below any url rewrite rules you may have from:
Vbulletin 3 or 4 with VBSEO installed
VB4 Forum Classic
VB4 Suite
VB3 by itself

This covers the following Pagespeed Rules.

Leverage browser caching
Specify a cache validator
Enable gzip compression

Make the following changes in your admincp

Code:
Mod Rewrite Friendly URLs

From: Settings > Options > Friendly Urls: Select Mod Rewrite Friendly Urls
This helps to cache nearly any file type that you may add in your attachment options (if you allow people to upload music files, zip files, rar files etc.. see the list lol)

*some people report login problems, I have posted below what works for me. Be sure to do this step as well to avoid problems!!
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=267588#3

Browse to the bottom of this first post for the .htaccess code.

Step 2: Optimize images
There is no more need to do this for vb4 packages unless you wish to do this on other images such as avatars, custom buttons, attachments, gallery uploads etc.

This covers the following PageSpeed Rules:

Optimize Images

If you have access to Visual Studio 2010 (grab the trial edition here which should be compatible with the addon), you can complete this step in just a few clicks using this addon
http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.micr...77c3?SRC=VSIDE

You can also use pnggauntlet which will compress images as well.

This is great to use on new skins/themes and also non animated gifs for Smileys, Signatures, Photo Album & Group Images and Avatars that your forum stores on your server!

Please note that both of these methods produce lossless images, meaning that even though it uses various methods to decrease file size there is absolutely no visual loss in quality of the image.

For non-windows users, I suggest Imageoptim & Trimage

If you have alot of jpeg images, you can compress 10 per day with this jpegmini. Your other options with this tool are to upload jpegs to a jpegmini album which will compress the images for free which you can download soon after! Your other option is to buy the tool for $20, which will enable you to compress a unlimited amount of jpegs, although it won't compress images above 28 MegaPixels.



Optional Step 3: Add CSS Sprites.
Not compatible with VB3

This covers the following PageSpeed Rules:

Combine images using CSS sprites

Code:
Install the addon United-Forum CSS Sprites and follow all of the instructions.  Can be found in the sprite_0.6.3a.zip file.
Optional Step 4: Use a CDN
Below are 3 free CDN's. I can vouch for cloudflare but have yet to try incapsula.

1) Incapsula
2) Cloudflare *Disable the Rocketloader feature to avoid potential issues.
New article on how to setup your forum for HTTPS with cloudflare

(Optional) Step 5: Make a free Server Optimization request

Now that you've done all of the steps above, there is one final thing left to do if you are using a vps or dedi, tweak the Server! You can go here to request a free tuneup:
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forum...-configuration

Here's one additional trick to help improve your seo btw:
[SEO Enhancement] Replace "reload this page" to the thread title [v1.00]

Enjoy!

Optional (Recommended) Step 7: Lazy load images.

Lazy Load will delay the loading of images outside of viewpoint to make the page load faster. That is, images in the visible part of the web page are only loaded and remaining images are loaded when visitor scrolls down the page, at some times it can even helps to save bandwidth.

Consider linking to us at http://video-game-chat.com/forum to help show your appreciation, since you'll be saving bandwith, reducing the loading time and thus keeping more visitors who visit your site. And impoving seo as google is now factoring in loading times into it's algorithms.

Test your page speed & yslow score's
If you would like to test your website and see what changes need to be made while you follow any part of this guide you can do so at several sites:

GTMetrix
Webpage Test
Pingdom

Here's a new htaccess that I've been testing, it's pretty solid so far. Simply throw in your url rewrite rules (for friendly urls).... this part may confuse people... they are usually located near the top of an existing htaccess file. Example of what rewrite rules look like...

Code:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d

RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]

# Forum
RewriteRule ^threads/.* showthread.php [QSA]
RewriteRule ^forums/.* forumdisplay.php [QSA]
RewriteRule ^members/.* member.php [QSA]
Throw that in between the #add your friendly url rewrite rules below. lines and your set! Another identifier is to look to see if the threads, forums, members etc are being affected by any rules in the old .htaccess... if so.. throw that in and you should have no problems.

Code:
# Author: Final Kaoss (aka: Extreme-Gaming)
# Version 3.2
# Special Thanks Goes to W3Total Cache for much of the htaccess rules
RewriteEngine on

# This file is only needed if you have set the Forum Component URL in your admincp and you are
# using the mod_rewrite option for friendly urls.  If this is the case, copy this file
# to your forum component stub directory.

# If you are having problems or are using VirtualDocumentRoot, uncomment this line and set it to your forum component directory.  
#If your site is located at site.com/forum, then go down one line uncomment (remove the #) and replace /vbtest/ with /forum/
# RewriteBase /vbtest/

# If you are having problems with the rewrite from content/ to content.php, uncomment this line to turn MultiViews off.
 Options -MultiViews
#add your friendly url rewrite rules below.

#stop adding your friendly url rewrite rules here.


#Deny attempts to view the Htaccess file.

Order allow,deny

*Update, three easy to use and free services that help with static content contribution has been added, some of which act as a CDN aside from just recommending cloudflare as I did previously.

cookie path /
cookie prefix bb
cookie domain .mysite.com
Example..
.www.video-game-chat.com

I have found that if I log into the front page the username is not showing at the top. However, if I login when checking a subforum, I am able to login successfully. I was also able to reply to the thread http://vgchat.info/forum/threads/166...me-3DS-Trailer without issues while being logged in.

Disable vbulletin content caching (since apache is handling that now)

AdminCP > Options > Server Settings and Optimization Options > Disable Content Caching: Set to yes

*Note these changes did not show immediately for me but they did show that they were working for me after roughly 15 minutes.
I am also experiencing this issue logging in and so are other members after adding the vbseo version of the .htaccess.

Where is this whitelist in vboptions also where is this setting "vb and photopost"?.

Never seen these options before neither do I have anything called whitelist or photopost in vb options.

Can you elaborate on this please?.

I don't use photopost but you can adjust the cookies here:
Admin CP > Options > Cookies and HTTP Header Options
and you can find the whitelist options here:
Admin CP > Options > General Settings

you need to edit the one in the forum root.

Also since your using vbseo, use this htaccess and edit it to reflect your forum path. If your Friendly Rewrite Rules are different then edit it below.

Hey there,

I installed the additions to my htacess. However now I cannot login. I can get in the ACP and login...somehow that was not affected but I cannot login/logout from the frontend.

I'm using 3.8.7. Not sure what to do here. The options for fixing this in the post don't exist. for VB3.8.7.

Leverage browser caching
Specify a cache validator
Enable gzip compression

This helps to cache nearly any file type that you may add in your attachment options (if you allow people to upload music files, zip files, rar files etc.. see the list lol)

Did you try the whitelisting tip? It's been forever since I used vb3, the options for it should be available though.

This guide shows in the 1st step how to do these:

Leverage browser caching
Specify a cache validator
Enable gzip compression

I already have set on the server the gzip compression and I have a cache validator specified.

So, I just need to add in the .htaccess the part about the Leverage browser caching. But I don't know exactly which part of the code you gave is reffering to that.
Please help?

Currently, there is nothing in the root directory, but I'd like to have the CMS at the root.
All the links (forum, what's new, usercp, blogs, etc...) work fine w/ the mod rewrite. However, it is only the Articles (or CMS) that doesn't work, and it returns a 404 page not found error. It's url is http://www.forgeofreason.com/forum/content.php

Did I do something wrong?

I did edit your sample htaccess by uncommenting 2 lines (but am not sure if I should have):

# If you are having problems or are using VirtualDocumentRoot, uncomment this line and set it to your forum component directory.
RewriteBase /forum/

# If you are having problems with the rewrite from content/ to content.php, uncomment this line to turn MultiViews off.
Options -MultiViews

@final kaoss, do you have any solution for this by chance? I know you don't have vbsuite but I can't get my CMS to work and thing this is what is doing it.

It tries to go to content.php but redirects and ends up in forum/content/ which does not exist.
