[Plugin: CSS-JS-Booster] Plugin has no valid header

Hi Jaap,

you need to manually install that plugin. Otherwise it will be in the wrong folder. See the install instructions tab.

Hi Schepp!

Yes, that did the trick, thanks!

That was the good news, now the bad… The plug-in ignores the style in the “feature” and the “footer” widgets of my Flexibility2 theme. I kind of solved the problem by removing style, putting some transparant area on the side of the pictures where margin-right: 8px and such used to be, and using the old align=”left” tags and such. Looks alright in Firefox, but not so good in Chrome – although I can live with that.

. The essence is, that the plug-in is probably not fully compatible with Flexibility2 theme.

Danke sch?n, und auf Wied’schau’n!

Jaap.

Sorry Schepp, I have deactivated the plug-in. It removes the “style” from all my pictures, destroying the lay-out. It didn’t do much speeding up either: from YSlow 73 to 75, which is not sufficient to make me go through all the trouble of redesigning my site.

Pity though: it was a good idea, and it probably still is a good idea for sites that don’t use the Flexibility2 (probably also the FlexSqueeze) theme.

Be well!

Jaap.

Hi and “guten Morgen” Jaap,

I see the point and updated the plugin – it should now leave your images alone. I hope.

To get a score in the area of 90 you should also edit your .htaccess and append the stuff from my .htaccess to it. Then you should be OK.

Regards and be well, too!

Hi Schepp, thanks for updating the plugin, I think it’s a good improvement! I re-downloaded and re-installed it, and now I’m up from 75 to 76 – still not an enormous improvement, but at least there’s no damage done anymore.

Sure, I did the right thing with the .htaccess file from the beginning, so the issue can’t be there I guess. What it may be is that I always use the default setting for YSlow(V2) – when I use “Small sites and blogs” the score is 89. What setting are you referring to?

Thanks, uf Wied’lurgen, and be well!

Jaap.

PS: Yes, I know it’s Schwyzerdütsch, but I like the sounds and spellings (wide grin)!

Hello Jaap,

I am also referring to the V2-Set.

It seems your server (Apache) does neither have mod_expires, nor mod_headers extensions activated. In YSlow V2, this is the reflected by the point “Add Expires headers”. The htaccess-commands should turn those on, using any of those mentioned modules. Perhaps you want to check with your hoster?

This will help considerably.

But… In your special case I’d think you’ll probably still miss the 90ies in YSlow V2 as your site is really cluttered with javascripts (Google Adwords + Analytics), pictures from everywhere, and fully stuffed with Plugins (flexibility seems to create many additional requests on its own).

Still: the most important point is that your page is working as expected, perhaps a little faster than before.

Hi Schepp!

Yes, I’m Dutch, living just to the west of you in my small country.

I’ll approach my host to activate the things you mention. I was already wondering about the “expires headers” stuff not having an effect.

I agree that the site will never be a speed world champion (wide grin)! But Adwords and Amazon and such are what it is all about, so I’ll just accept a bit of slowness. No problem.

Indeed, thanks to your plugin I gained a few points, and everything helps!

Be well,

Jaap.

hello, i miss the plugin settings, how can i get to the setting page?
