 * Hi,
 * I’m having an issue with WP Super Cache plugin. The site is up and running with
   no issues, however when I test the site on gtmetrix and google page speed I get
   error 500 Internal Server Error.
 * I think there might be an error with .htaccess file but not sure what this is.
   I’m pasting below the file I’m using.
 * Any idea? Thanks for your help
