Title: ySlow message Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # ySlow message * Resolved [violacase](https://wordpress.org/support/users/violacase/) * (@violacase) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/yslow-message/) * I installed the plugin and noticed GZip Ninja affected the .htaccess file. Still ySlow tool for Chrome says files aren’t gzipped. Who’m I to believe?

All files are hosted on the server. To minimize the chance it has something to do with cacheing I deactivated other cacheing plugins for your convenience. * Plugin Author [customwpninjas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/customwpninjas/) * (@customwpninjas) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/yslow-message/#post-4513424) * Thank you – and also, you should only using 1 caching plugin at a time. If not it runs the possibility of a conflict which means a crash with things like .htaccess. * (this is using Google PageSpeed Insights) * Compressing [http://violacase.nl/](http://violacase.nl/) could save 148.5KiB( 85% reduction).

More than likely, there are ugly comments, or poor structure involved in the coding. * In the GZip plugin we are directly zipping these files: * AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/javascript AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript * I am going to continue to look at this for you, expect another answer (maybe even more educated answer) in a couple of hours. * Thread Starter [violacase](https://wordpress.org/support/users/violacase/) * (@violacase) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/yslow-message/#post-4513427) * Hé CustomWPNinjas, * You’re really working on this thing… Nice to see. I know multiple cacheing plugins working simultaneously is bad practice. (Unless you know what you’re doing) You don’t have to hurry, it’s not of big importance for me right now. I’ll wait and see. Happy coding! * Plugin Author [customwpninjas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/customwpninjas/) * (@customwpninjas) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/yslow-message/#post-4513428) * lol, yeah, we want to support our plugins and our customers as we would want to be serviced. * We are working on it, but the two hour mark was your typical under estimate on this. I’ve found a place that minifies and gzips the jquery file to 19kb and I’m trying to figure out how to implement it in this plugin. Most are 58.9kb. * Maybe it is another plugin, maybe not. But that is the biggest issue that is striking me on the profile I saw of your website – those additional files. * Keep things static for me if you can so my scans return the same information. Let me know if you need to change something. * Oh, by the way, try a plugin called wp smush.it for your images, will make a huge difference on page load speed. You may still need to manually do some, but it is awesome (I didn’t write it) * Plugin Author [customwpninjas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/customwpninjas/) * (@customwpninjas) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/yslow-message/#post-4513474) * Any update on this Violacase? * Plugin Author [customwpninjas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/customwpninjas/) * (@customwpninjas) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/yslow-message/#post-4513488) * Hey Viola, * I hate to mark this as resolved, but it is painful on the ratings if I don’t. * I’ll work on this as long as you want, but I think mod_deflate is not installed on your server. * Email me any questions ninjas [at] customwpninjas.com * Thread Starter [violacase](https://wordpress.org/support/users/violacase/) * (@violacase) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/yslow-message/#post-4513493) * Hi CustomWPNinjas, * Sorry for not responding a bit sooner. I’m very busy with other stuff now. I can’t make any time for examening cacheing problems for now. I’ll send you an email when the time comes and I need support. I can fully understand you mark this thread as resolved.
