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.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.*)(js|css|jpg|gif)$ redir.php?file=$1$2&type=$2 [L]
</IfModule>

Just add the code line in red or your images and chats wont work right. At least for me that have static contents (images) in a second server.

and it works now

thanks for this tip

[Bonus Paradise]

seems to work fine
now I would have some questions
I have already a htaccess on main page
http://www.bonusparadise.com/
and now this one here in my forum root
http://www.bonusparadise.com/forum
will there be no problems having more htaccess files on the same domain?

Would this work also for my main page
or can i just add all this in my main page htacess and i dont need another one then in forum root?

And one last question
how can i redirect my http://www.bonusparadise.com/forum/index.php
to http://www.bonusparadise.com/forum/

I have this done for my main
but for the forum i just cant manage it somehow.

Any help and info is much appreciated
thanks in advance
Marina

Does it matter if I have "Add No-Cache HTTP Headers" selected ON or OFF if I'm using this plugin ?

Nooo enabling that option will make your dynamic content sent with no-cache and it will read from users browser so if you make your forums turn off and some users come and see it after u open ur forum they can see it still under maintance.

So "Add No-Cache HTTP Headers" should be set to NO ?

With vBSEO 3.2.0 RC7, this disables all the AJAX/Javascripts... help?
I've seen some fixes in the upper posts, but i'm not sure if they work for my problem.

These two are not compatible with my Firefox 3 RC1 version unfortunately. Anyone willing to do my work on my behalf and show me the results (screenshots)?

I uploaded both htaccess and redir files and I'm using VBSEO RC5 at this time. I would like to get some results, remove the yslow modifications and then get the results without the modifications.

Thanks to whomever may help on this.
