how much help IPB optimization google tips?

[donpetru]

We ran an analysis of web pages with the option google from url: developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed and after that system recommended me:

Overview

The page XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX got an overall PageSpeed Score of 37 (out of 100). Learn more

This PageSpeed Report is generated for this page as it appears in desktop browsers. To get suggestions on how to optimize the performance of this page for mobile devices, generate a mobile report.
Suggestion Summary

Click on the rule names to see suggestions for improvement.

• High priority. These suggestions represent the largest potential performance wins for the least development effort. You should address these items first: Serve scaled images, Enable compression, Leverage browser caching, Minify JavaScript, Optimize images, Combine images into CSS sprites
  

• Medium priority. These suggestions may represent smaller wins or much more work to implement. You should address these items next: Minimize redirects, Defer parsing of JavaScript, Minify CSS
  

• Low priority. These suggestions represent the smallest wins. You should only be concerned with these items after you've handled the higher-priority ones: Inline Small JavaScript, Minify HTML, Specify a cache validator, Put CSS in the document head, Specify a Vary: Accept-Encoding header
  

• Experimental rules. These suggestions are experimental, but do not affect the overall PageSpeed score. Consider these items as points to an area to explore, but your mileage might vary: Reduce request serialization, Eliminate unnecessary reflows
  

Already done!. There are no suggestions for these rules, since this page already follows these best practices. Good job!

And then I click on option Enable compression, the result is:

Enable compression

Assuming you are running Apache you need to add:


SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
# Don't compress images
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI
.(?:gif|jpe?g|png)$ no-gzip dont-vary


to your VirtualHost or your Location.

Sorry just to be clear that should be in your httpd.conf file (/etc/httpd/conf/ on RedHat Linux systems)
