 * Hi everyone,
    I was using W3 Total Cache in combination with CDN. My website 
   was lightning fast, got a score of 90 on Pingdom, but the plugin completely screwed
   up my website: even when I disable EVERYTHING on W3, when I logged in (I have
   user-driven website), on some pages I would be logged in as Admin, while on others
   it still says Sign In. I tried WP Super Cache, and once again, with CDN my website
   loads 500+ ms on average, but my score went down to 83 because of Leverage Browser
   Cache. Also, the previously mentioned issues were gone while using WP Super Cache,
   all pages were displaying “logged in as Admin.” I really don’t know what to do,
   even played around with .htaccess, but my score of 83 (with WP Super Cache) has
   not changed. Should I just bite the bullet and have a fast website with a lower
   score? Or is there something else that I can do? Thank you guys, I hope any of
   this made sense; I’m just being desperate here.

 * Just solved the problem! Final result: Pingdom score 92 and website loading between
   500ms-1.5s Just paste this code to your .htaccess
    # BEGIN Compress text files
   <ifModule mod_deflate.c> AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/
   xml application/xml application/xhtml+xml text/css text/javascript application/
   javascript application/x-javascript </ifModule> # END Compress text files
 * # BEGIN Expire headers
