Question

Website: http://taylorsbackyardcenter.ca/store

So I’m finishing an OSCommerce site and I’m implementing compression, caching, and site optimization. I have run into a problem with deflate.

Both Page Speed and YSlow inform me that:

Compressing http://taylorsbackyardcenter.ca/store/includes/functions/js/jquery.min.js could save 46.5KiB (65% reduction).
Compressing http://taylorsbackyardcenter.ca/store/includes/sts_templates/taylor/taylor_stylesheet.css could save 9.7KiB (79% reduction).

I think my .htaccess file is correct:

#############################
## Site Speed/Optimization ##
#############################
# MIME Type Fixes
AddType image/x-icon .ico
AddType text/javascript .js
AddType text/css .css

# Compress

AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/javascript application/x-javascript application/javascript

# Proxy fix

# Set ETag

# Public Caching

# Expires Headers

Please advise

Answer 1

Generally they mean mini-fying, or removing useless empty space, there should be a link that says view optimized version or download optimized version. Just save it over top of your old one and upload it to your server. That should take care of it.
