Most likely the difference is that the site that is getting the green ok from Google does not have any or a significant number of external links loading on that site and the site that is getting the orange warning is loading a significant number of external scripts/links.
You can cache internal scripts/links, but cannot do anything about external scripts/links because they are being called from an external source and not loading internally on your website. Compare the sites by looking at the number of external scripts/links loading on each of them. You can do this with Firefox and installing the Firebug and Firephp add-ons.

You could always grab the external script/library from the source link and minify it and add it to your website, but if a plugin or theme is adding the link to the external script/library then you would have to modify the code in that plugin or theme that is calling that external script/library. Or you could always contact the plugin or theme author and ask them to do this in their next version of the plugin or theme. If the external links are Ad links then you cannot do anything about these types of external links. I think this is also true with external Social Media links.
The big picture is this: If your site is performing well then do not put too much importance on getting a green status indicator. The bottom line is: is your website actually performing well. The grade you get for your website performance is really not that important and is more for checking for areas where you can make improvements.

Ok thanks, was just curious but that makes sense as the orange one does have more plugins. Will concentrate on SEO rather than googles ideal world lol

Yep, all online website performance tools/checkers evaluate website performance based on basic general factors. It would be really tough if not impossible to design online website performance tools/checkers to factor in every single unique or individual factors used on each website.

We are not aware of any issues/problems or conflicts with BPS and Jetpack. If something in Jetpack is being blocked by BPS then an error will be logged in the BPS Security log file. You would then post that error and we will provide a whitelist/skip/bypass rule to whitelist whatever is being blocked. The BPS Pro Plugin Firewall does require whitelist rules for Jetpack, but BPS does not have/include the Plugin Firewall.

Edit after your edit: This is shady activity since the User Agent is blank.
The User Agent is blank. This means shady activity. If this was from a mobile device then the User agent would say “Android” or whichever mobile device Browser that this request was made from. All legitimate requests will have a User Agent.

These are automatically shady/bad activity.
A blank User Agent = Shady Activity/Something bad that should be blocked.
SERVER_PROTOCOL: HTTP/1.0 = Shady Activity/Something bad that should be blocked.

A 403 HTTP Response Status code means: 403 Forbidden
The request was a valid request, but the server is refusing to respond to it.

You will see lots and lots of Security Log entries. We get around 300,000 per month. 😉 Of course our sites get extra special attention from hackers so the normal/typical site would of course log significantly less hacking attempts, spammers, scrapers and other deviants.
