If you are using CSS and want to make your site faster try adding this code before any code on your index.php page: <?php ob_start( 'ob_gzhandler' ); ?> You can see the changes using this URL: http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/ You can also compress your CSS files using this tool: http://www.cssdrive.com/index.php/main/csscompressor/ Once you have the compressed css file, rename it to css.php and add the following code on top of it: <?php ob_start ("ob_gzhandler"); header("Content-type: text/css; charset: UTF-8"); header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate"); $offset = 60 * 60 ; $ExpStr = "Expires: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s", time() + $offset) . " GMT"; header($ExpStr); ?> Once this is done make sure you edit your reference to the css file. In myc ase its changed from style type="text/css">@import url("/style/style.css") to style type="text/css">@import url("style/style.php") It helps in a great way to speed up your site.
