Summary	0000713: small and simple performance suggestions Expires+Compression
Description	Using Firefox's Firebug/YSlow suggested the following improvements on secure.cacert.org Add expires headers: # [HTTP headers] (no expires) https://secure.cacert.org/styles/default.css # [HTTP headers] (no expires) https://secure.cacert.org/images/cacert4.png Not Gziped. https://secure.cacert.org/account.php https://secure.cacert.org/styles/default.css https://secure.cacert.org/wot.php?id=8 https://secure.cacert.org/gpg.php?id=3&cert=4902 Apache: a2enmod expires & deflate <location /styles> or <directory /styles> (and /images) <IfModule mod_expires.c> ExpiresActive On ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 month" </IfModule> <IfModule mod_deflate.c> SetOutputFilter DEFLATE </IfModule> Compression of php pages can be achieved with http://au2.php.net/ob_gzhandler though there are some warning comments. Overall though YSlow gives CAcert a good score.
