Hi

you should add those conditions to minimizing the internal server error crash risk for some users:

Code Select Expand

<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
#the code
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
#the code
</IfModule>




This apart, IMUO we can achieve your htaccess settings in another way, mike this:

Code Select Expand

<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/javascript application/javascript application/x-javascript text/x-js text/ecmascript application/ecmascript text/vbscript text/fluffscript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE image/svg+xml application/x-font-ttf application/x-font font/opentype font/otf font/ttf application/x-font-truetype application/x-font-opentype application/vnd.ms-fontobject application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.formula-template
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/xml application/xml
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
<FilesMatch "\.(ico|gif|jpg|JPG|jpeg|png|PNG|swf|css|js|html?|xml|txt)$">
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresDefault "access plus 10 years"
</FilesMatch>
</IfModule>

Just a question of taste and simplicity
replace "10 years" expiration time by what you need.

To tune for each file, simply look this post:

Code Select Expand

# 1 YEAR
<FilesMatch "\.(ico|pdf|flv)$">
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=29030400, public"
</FilesMatch>
# 1 WEEK
<FilesMatch "\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|swf)$">
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=604800, public"
</FilesMatch>
# 2 DAYS
<FilesMatch "\.(xml|txt|css|js)$">
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=172800, proxy-revalidate"
</FilesMatch>
# 1 MIN
<FilesMatch "\.(html|htm)$">
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=60, private, proxy-revalidate"
</FilesMatch>

Anyway, good mod that many will use by far 

excellent... i totally forgot about using <IfModule> so i've updated the mod

thanks for the support guys!

wow that's sucks i didn't know that but still a lot of people will get some use out of this mod as although simple it does give good results

I have Godaddy, I googled if they have those mod_deflate or mod_expires features, and I cannot find the answer anywhere, 5 pages of looking.

you can install the mod and if you have any problems just delete the '.htaccess' in your web root

[KensonPlays]

Well the .htaccess contains Pretty URLs stuff. Don't want to delete that!

[KensonPlays]

It messed my site up. Cannot uninstall. I tried and keeps trying Pretty URLs stuff. but this mod overwrote Pretty URLs .htaccess contents. I cannot administer my site anymore.

1. i did say IF you have a '.htaccess' file you should manually install this

2. i also said if you do get any errors with this to just delete the '.htaccess' in your web root to uninstall this

[KensonPlays]

to delete my .htaccess is to ruin Pretty URLs.

[Depreciated]

to delete my .htaccess is to ruin Pretty URLs.

you installed this mod without reading the info/warnings about already having a .htaccess file as this mod overwrites it

simple delete you .htaccess as it is only from this mod and NOT Pretty URLs

@PaulpBaker

your welcome

and if you want some more few YSlow points, you can add this too:

Code Select Expand

<FilesMatch "\.(ico|gif|jpg|JPG|jpeg|png|PNG|swf|css|js|html?|xml|txt)$">
Header unset ETag
FileETag none
</FilesMatch>

As the Etags become useless if we manage the expirations by the module.

I already use all of that since severals yaers on my smf, and got a :
YSlow Grade A Overall performance score 92
Page Speed Score: 81/100

once again thank you for your input but i didn't notice any changes with the yslow score when adding that code to the <IfModule mod_expires.c> tag?

v2.0 - 17th August 2010: Total rewrite of the mod so stop it from causing problems for people who already have a .htaccess file

It's independent, you must not put that into the  <IfModule mod_expires.c>

If you want you can put that, as this into the htaccess

Code Select Expand

Header unset ETag
FileETag none

And so if it's ok then, you must have the "Grade A on Configure entity tags (ETags)" under YSlow.

Sometimes (like on CPanel WHM) you can directly set the ETags  to off on the server, in this case you already got the Grade A for ETags, so you don't need this code in the htaccess.

Thank You!

[MultiformeIngegno]

Thank you!
Maybe a stupid question: does this work also if I've enabled smf caching (level 2)?

this mod won't overwrite your .htaccess file it'll only add to it so it's safe to install

[MultiformeIngegno]

Okay!
But will it work if I add that code without installing the mod?

[MultiformeIngegno]

So it's usable on all servers with mod_deflate/expires enabled, also if smf is not installed?
