john
hmm cant get it to work. i have deletet the htaccess file in smart optimizer folder but it breaks my skin.
can you post your htaccess? or maby in a private message if you want
jaochim
make sure your folder smartoptimizer/cache is 777 permisions.
You also may have to add in your original .htaccess (but make a copy of this before you change anything)
```php
bof smartoptimizer
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresDefault “access plus 10 years”
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(..(js|css))$ smartoptimizer/?$1
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^(..(js|css|html?|xml|txt))$ smartoptimizer/?$1
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^(.*.(gif|jpg|jpeg|png|swf|css|js|html?|xml|txt|ico))$ smartoptimizer/?$1
FileETag none
eof smartoptimizer
```
John
the permission is set to 777 og the cache folder but no dice. i tryd some difrent htaccess files but no luck.
this is my htaccess: (it needs some cleaning but works great just not with smartoptimizer)
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
#FileETag none
Pleas note that RewriteBase setting is obsolete use it only in case you experience some problems with SEO addon.
Some hostings require RewriteBase to be uncommented
Example:
Your store url is [url=“http://www.yourcompany.com/store/cart”]http://www.yourcompany.com/store/cart[/url]
So “RewriteBase” should be:
RewriteBase /store/cart
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !.(png|gif|ico|swf|jpe?g|js|css)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . index.php?sef_rewrite=1 [L,QSA]
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
FileETag none
FileETag MTime Size
ExpiresActive on
ExpiresDefault “access plus 1 year”
#Expire Header
ExpiresDefault “access plus 30 days”
and my config.local.php
// Tweaks
$config['tweaks'] = array (
'js_compression' => true, // enables compession to reduce size of javascript files
'check_templates' => true, // disables templates checking to improve template engine speed
'inline_compilation' => true, // compiles nested templates in one file
'anti_csrf' => false, // protect forms from CSRF attacks
'disable_block_cache' => false, // used to disable block cache
'join_css' => true, // is used to unite css files into one file
'allow_php_in_templates' => false, // Allow to use {php} tags in templates
'disable_localizations' => true, // Disable Localizations functionality
'disable_google_base' => true, //Disable obsolete google base functionality
the shop is a default shop V 3.0.2 on a vps server.

My 2 pennies for Smart Optimizer.
In my experience my site is no faster with or without Smart Optimizer as long as I have gzip enabled in php.ini. Yes, with Smart Optimizer my Page Speed score was about 88 and without it is about 65 but there is no difference in the load time of my site. My average load time according to Google is about 1/2 second and this is on a shared server.
I double down on those 2 pennies
My 3 2.x sites are definitely faster with SO. After installing I immediately “felt” the difference when surfing my site.
P.S. you can set [color=#282828][font=arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif]'js_compression' => false [/font][/color]
SO already does that and it doesn't need to be compressed twice, this will only slow things down

More than likely you do not have gzip enabled on the server. The default setting for gzip is “disable”.

More than 4 seconds off the load time. Virtually half the page size. Good result for doing very little.

Hi Just had CS-Cart carry out an install for my company Version 3 for our site www[dot]fuss3inkandtoner.co.uk and it is soo slow, very disappointing. CS-cart asked me to raise a ticket and I have, but still waiting for them to look at it. We only have 3 test products on the site 
Any suggestions anyone. Gzip is enabled.

Yes, Gzip is enabled on your server which looks like Shared hosting to me too. Can't think of any hosts with shared hosting resulting in anything but a slow CS-Cart site (nor any other cart for that matter).

Nope. Just because the server is shared doesn't mean it's crappy…the people in control of them are.

Correct, underpowered and oversold. To make matters worse, they limit the functionality to enhance security, yet they're still the most vulnerable to hackers. Fail.
