 * Hi, [@woober](https://wordpress.org/support/users/woober/)
 * One question: which resources was pingdom complaining about?
 * If the resources are external (like Facebook, or Google, etc.), there’s nothing
   that you can do about a missing cache validator for them.

 * Hi, [@woober](https://wordpress.org/support/users/woober/)
 * We’ve narrowed down the problem and we think that your ETag headers are not set
   correctly. That is a server-level setting, and actually is not related to the
   LSCWP plugin.
 * If you are not sure how to fix the ETag headers, you can create a ticket [through our client area](https://store.litespeedtech.com/store/clientarea.php)
   or by sending email to `support@litespeedtech.com`. Someone from the server tech
   support team can help you out with that.
 * Cheers!

   is loaded?

 * Sure, if it means that those files can’t be cached.
