Besides our module, you can use the following built-in PrestaShop optimizations. These optimizations may speed it up further.
- Make sure that your server has mod_deflate and mod_expires installed on apache.
- Go in Tools >> Generators. Then select Optimization and Friendly URL and generate .htaccess file.
If you already have generated an .htaccess file, make sure that you have the following lines in it:
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 1 week"
ExpiresByType text/javascript "access plus 1 week"
ExpiresByType application/javascript "access plus 1 week"Â Â
ExpiresByType application/x-javascript "access plus 1 week"
ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access plus 1 year"
</IfModule>
