Speed Boost Code Breaks Site

    Thanks for creating this great plugin!

    When I add the speed boost code:

    https://forum.ait-pro.com/forums/topic/htaccess-caching-code-speed-boost-cache-code/#post-9707

    My website returns a 500 error.

    I have followed the instructions exactly (I believe).

    I have added the custom code to this area:

    CUSTOM CODE TOP PHP/PHP.INI HANDLER/CACHE CODE:
    Add php.ini handler and/or plugin cache code here
    ONLY add valid htaccess code below or text commented out with a pound sign #

    Then I created a secure .htaccess file.

    Then I activated Root Folder BulletProof Mode.

    I have successfully added all the other custom code edits advised.

    Here is the exact custom code I added:

    # BEGIN WEBSITE SPEED BOOST
# Time cheat sheet in seconds
# A86400 = 1 day
# A172800 = 2 days
# A2419200 = 1 month
# A4838400 = 2 months
# A29030400 = 1 year

# Test which ETag setting works best on your Host/Server/Website
# with Firefox Firebug, Firephp and Yslow benchmark tests.

# Create the ETag (entity tag) response header field

# Remove the ETag (entity tag) response header field
Header unset ETag
FileETag none

    I am using the latest WordPress, single install, on Linode.

    I am also using W3 Total Cache

    If you are already using W3TC browser caching then the Speed Boost Cache code will probably not add a speed increase.

    Things to check:

    If you have cPanel on your hosting then make sure that you have locked your root .htaccess file on the htaccess File Editor tab page.

    The Speed Boost cache code MUST go after the W3TC cache code in this Custom Code text box: CUSTOM CODE TOP PHP/PHP.INI HANDLER/CACHE CODE. Note: if you are using W3TC browser caching then you will probably not notice any speed improvements since W3TC browser cache code is pretty much doing the exact same thing that the Speed Boost cache code is doing – Browser Cache.

    I have seen 1 case so far where a web host was not allowing the “Header” .htaccess directive. So that all code that is using “Header” had to be deleted in order for that person to use the speed boost code.

    Thank you, I will not add the code then.

    Keep up the great work.
