Hi, I know this is a topic that seems to come up a lot on prestashop but I have yet to find a solution on the existing discussions that work. My site is very slow, most of the time, not always which is strange I think. From one load to the next it seems to change, even if I have made no changes According to gmetrix I need to set an expiration on a number of my files. I have tried adding the recommended text to htaccess but this seems to make no difference. Obviously there are other problems but this is first of the list!!. A long list!! This is code on my htaccess file # ~~start~~ Do not remove this comment, Prestashop will keep automatically the code outside this comment when .htaccess will be generated again # .htaccess automaticaly generated by PrestaShop e-commerce open-source solution # http://www.prestashop.com - http://www.prestashop.com/forums ## EXPIRES CACHING ## <IfModule mod_expires.c> ExpiresActive On ExpiresByType image/jpg "access 1 year" ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access 1 year" ExpiresByType image/gif "access 1 year" ExpiresByType image/png "access 1 year" ExpiresByType text/css "access 1 month" ExpiresByType text/html "access 1 month" ExpiresByType application/pdf "access 1 month" ExpiresByType text/x-javascript "access 1 month" ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash "access 1 month" ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access 1 year" ExpiresDefault "access 1 month" </IfModule> ## EXPIRES CACHING ## <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> SetEnv HTTP_MOD_REWRITE On RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^tomsheehy.com$ RewriteRule . - [E=REWRITEBASE:/Shop/] RewriteRule ^api/?(.*)$ %{ENV:REWRITEBASE}webservice/dispatcher.php?url=$1 [QSA,L] # Images RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^tomsheehy.com$ RewriteRule ^([0-9])(\-[_a-zA-Z0-9-]*)?(-[0-9]+)?/.+\.jpg$ %{ENV:REWRITEBASE}img/p/$1/$1$2$3.jpg [L] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^tomsheehy.com$ RewriteRule ^([0-9])([0-9])(\-[_a-zA-Z0-9-]*)?(-[0-9]+)?/.+\.jpg$ %{ENV:REWRITEBASE}img/p/$1/$2/$1$2$3$4.jpg [L] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^tomsheehy.com$ RewriteRule ^([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])(\-[_a-zA-Z0-9-]*)?(-[0-9]+)?/.+\.jpg$ %{ENV:REWRITEBASE}img/p/$1/$2/$3/$1$2$3$4$5.jpg [L] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^tomsheehy.com$ RewriteRule ^([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])(\-[_a-zA-Z0-9-]*)?(-[0-9]+)?/.+\.jpg$ %{ENV:REWRITEBASE}img/p/$1/$2/$3/$4/$1$2$3$4$5$6.jpg [L] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^tomsheehy.com$ RewriteRule ^([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])(\-[_a-zA-Z0-9-]*)?(-[0-9]+)?/.+\.jpg$ %{ENV:REWRITEBASE}img/p/$1/$2/$3/$4/$5/$1$2$3$4$5$6$7.jpg [L] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^tomsheehy.com$ RewriteRule ^([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])(\-[_a-zA-Z0-9-]*)?(-[0-9]+)?/.+\.jpg$ %{ENV:REWRITEBASE}img/p/$1/$2/$3/$4/$5/$6/$1$2$3$4$5$6$7$8.jpg [L] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^tomsheehy.com$ RewriteRule ^([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])(\-[_a-zA-Z0-9-]*)?(-[0-9]+)?/.+\.jpg$ %{ENV:REWRITEBASE}img/p/$1/$2/$3/$4/$5/$6/$7/$1$2$3$4$5$6$7$8$9.jpg [L] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^tomsheehy.com$ RewriteRule ^([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])(\-[_a-zA-Z0-9-]*)?(-[0-9]+)?/.+\.jpg$ %{ENV:REWRITEBASE}img/p/$1/$2/$3/$4/$5/$6/$7/$8/$1$2$3$4$5$6$7$8$9$10.jpg [L] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^tomsheehy.com$ RewriteRule ^c/([0-9]+)(\-[\.*_a-zA-Z0-9-]*)(-[0-9]+)?/.+\.jpg$ %{ENV:REWRITEBASE}img/c/$1$2$3.jpg [L] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^tomsheehy.com$ RewriteRule ^c/([a-zA-Z_-]+)(-[0-9]+)?/.+\.jpg$ %{ENV:REWRITEBASE}img/c/$1$2.jpg [L] # AlphaImageLoader for IE and fancybox RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^tomsheehy.com$ RewriteRule ^images_ie/?([^/]+)\.(jpe?g|png|gif)$ js/jquery/plugins/fancybox/images/$1.$2 [L] # Dispatcher RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^tomsheehy.com$ RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^tomsheehy.com$ RewriteRule ^.*$ %{ENV:REWRITEBASE}index.php [NC,L] </IfModule> <IfModule mod_expires.c> ExpiresActive On ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 1 month" ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 1 month" ExpiresByType image/jpg "access plus 1 month" ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 1 month" ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 1 week" ExpiresByType text/javascript "access plus 1 week" ExpiresByType application/javascript "access plus 1 week" ExpiresByType application/x-javascript "access plus 1 week" ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access plus 1 year" </IfModule> FileETag INode MTime Size <IfModule mod_deflate.c> <IfModule mod_filter.c> AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/css text/javascript application/javascript application/x-javascript </IfModule> </IfModule> #If rewrite mod isn't enabled ErrorDocument 404 /Shop/index.php?controller=404 # ~~end~~ Do not remove this comment, Prestashop will keep automatically the code outside this comment when .htaccess will be generated again my website is http://www.tomsheehy.com.
