 * I’ve read through the FAQ and browsed these forums a bit. I’ve read around on
   Google and am requesting some assistance.
 * I have WP Super Cache plugin installed and configered. I ran a Google page speed
   test and it came back at 71… While I kind of expected this as a result fo the
   theme, I think I can still improve.
 * Google tells me I have 2 high priorities:
    Enable compression Leverage browser
   caching
 * I go back into wp super cache and it appears as though I have these settings 
   turned on. Google speed test gives me specific resources to address. All of which
   are related to the installed theme. How do I compress and/or leverage browser
   caching for the specific resources Google has identified?
 * Also, I read that I should set cache to a one year interval. Is this value the
   same as the 3600 seconds that is defaulted in the plugin when first installed?
 * If needed, my site can be found at [http://draftopia.com](http://draftopia.com)(
   if including URLs is against TOS I appologize and will gladly remove.)

   says that your site is gzipped. You should enable 304 browser caching support
   on the advanced settings page. You’ll probably need to enable PHP caching first
   though.
