query regarding speed

Hi i’m working through the speed optimisations and have put the following code in my ht access but i still get this error on gtmetrix

Enable compression for the following resources to reduce their transfer size by 1008.4KiB (89% reduction).

Compressing https://seekpretty.com/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/style.css?ver=8.7.4 could save 1008.4KiB (89% reduction).

please let me know what I need to do, On my last site I made a lot of changes and i cant remmeber what exactly i did. thanks

hi Simion,

I keep testing but just can’t get it right and with google prioritising mobile pagespeed optimisation scores, mine is really low and my traffic is dropping. i’m unsure what to do. I’ll try removing all plugins and starting again to see if that works even though i’ve already tried and didn’t figure it out

do you think cloudfare caching and wp super cache being on together can cause problems. does this theme work well with just cloudfare?
