Absolutelly right...
Please Indy, read again my test result:
Less than 1 second: With display mistakes (French characters mistakes PLUS CSS mistakes under IE)
1 - Mistakes could easily be resolved with a perfectly tweaked WEBO by a pro.
2 - I tried a Free Basic WEBO, that can load pages in less than 1 second.
SmartOptimizer (SO) cannot be faster, because it does not play in the same League as WEBO:
A - SO can GZIP only CSS files and JS scripts, WEBO can do it too.
B - SO do not GZIP HTML files, WEBO can do it.
C - SO do not manage
CDN WEBO can do it.
D - SO cannot combine CSS files, WEBO can do it
E - SO cannot combine JavaScript files, WEBO can do it
F - SO cannot Gzip fonts, WEBO can do it
G - SO cannot check for gzip possibility via cookies, WEBO can do it
H - SO cannot use deflate instead of gzip for IE6/7, WEBO can do it
I - SO cannot cache images, WEBO can do it
J - SO cannot cache fonts, WEBO can do it
K - SO cannot cache video files, WEBO can do it
L - SO cannot cache static assets, WEBO can do it
M - SO cannot cache HTML (GZIP, see

, WEBO can do it
N - SO cannot setup a default timeout to cache HTML, WEBO can do it
O - SO cannot change itself .htaccess file, WEBO can do it automaticaly
P - SO cannot manage data:URI, WEBO can do it
Q - SO cannot manage mhtml, WEBO can do it
R - SO cannot manage CSS Sprites, WEBO can do it
S - SO cannot exclude IE6 from CSS Sprites, WEBO can do it
T - SO cannot manage DB cache, WEBO can do it
U - SO cannot include combined JavaScript file before </body>, WEBO can do it
V - SO cannot move all JavaScript code to </body>, WEBO can do it
W - SO cannot distribute images, WEBO can do it
X - SO cannot check hosts' availability automatically, WEBO can do it
Y - SO cannot distribute CSS files, WEBO can do it

AA - And more...
So, remember, I tried a Free Basic WEBO.
This Free Basic WEBO is ex equao with Full SO.
I use SO for a long time. It's a really basic tool.
With WEBO, when setup by a pro, you can load EVERY pages for EVERY customers THREE time faster than SO.
WEBO may seem expensive at first glance, but you can refund your WEBO purchase by dozens of times in the first year:
Phil Dixon of Shopzilla for his part noted in dropping the loading time of his site from 7 seconds to 2 seconds:
25% of page views and more
7 - 12% of sales more

Free Basic WEBO for CS-Cart, can load page under 1 second. SO cannot be so fast
