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.

####Charset
#AddDefaultCharset Off

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

Am I supposed to have two different files?

[dancue]

Quick question. Am I uploading the php file to the forum root, or uploading the yslow folder with the php file within the forum root?

[RTMdotORG]

works good but shows theres errors in the bottom left corner of IE....

[TheInsaneManiac]

About how much more strain would this put on the server, because I got DDoSed and they targeted the redir.php and kicked me out of the park with a whopping 65.72 load. I'm not suppose to go over 1.0 and I got suspended for a day until we could isolate the problem. I'm not saying that it causes a huge load, as any file being targeted with that many people could send the server flying, but I would like to know about how many extra queries it could add?

[Jaxel]

Been using this mod for a year, and it has been GREAT!

However, after EVO2K9, the traffic on my website has doubled. I found performance starting to straggle. So I disabled this mod and now things seem to be running smoothly. If you have a high traffic forum, you may start having issues with this mod.

Bandwidth isn't as much of an issue for me, as I am more worried about performance; so I don't have a need for this mod anymore.

[MikeWarner]

Just tried this in vB4.0 and it seems to work fine.

[bart6767]

This works well on vB4.0
