Test one of your posts with GTmetrix.com for explanation and help on optimizing your site/server further. Read the help/examples for each item to work on. Only you can optimize images, make sure gzip/deflate working on server, minimize external elements being loaded, etc.

You can also peruse my epic poem in the docs > tutorials > best of forums section.

Hello Jonas-Holm,
I am using the same code in .htaccess with some modifications.

Hey Amit,

Why don’t you let us know about those some modifications that you did with .htaccess to get 100% Pagespeed score?
You may write the codes here or use pastebin.com to do so.
Also, have you made any further changes in functions.php or any other core files? Are settings for CloudFlare and WP Super cache is still what is described under the linked articles on Tagdiv?

Be more specific and don’t hesitate to share your optimization techniques that actually worked.

This community is a great place to help each other 🙂

Thank you.

Cheers.

For those who missed it, the classic thread may be useful in the ‘best of forums’ DIY tutorials section of this site:

https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tutorial-chriss-custom-optimizations-for-functions-php-etc/

it’s classic cheesy goodness!

Thank you very much Chris and Amit for sharing the links here. I have already used Chris’s optimization tricks and it has helped me a lot to achieve very good performance results.

I will try Amit’s method too soon.
