Optimise site and .htaccess

[canou83]

HI, i use e-commerce website (Opencart) with WHM / Cpanel on a VPS.
In order to optimize the speed of the site, I tried the module mod_pagespeed, but I have less good performance, so I uninstalled.

I activated the compression of all the content of the site via cpanel (Compress all content) + 1 CDN (OVH) + in Opencart minify HTML / .JF / .CSS + Opencart cache and this .htaccess code:

# 1.To use URL Alias you need to be running apache with mod_rewrite enabled.

# 2. In your opencart directory rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess.

# For any support issues please visit: http://www.opencart.com

# Specify a Default Charset
AddDefaultCharset utf-8

Options +FollowSymlinks

# Prevent Directoy listing
Options -Indexes

# Prevent Direct Access to files
<FilesMatch "(?i)((\.tpl|\.ini|\.log|(?<!robots)\.txt))">
Require all denied
## For apache 2.2 and older, replace "Require all denied" with these two lines :
# Order deny,allow
# Deny from all
</FilesMatch>

# SEO URL Settings
RewriteEngine On
# If your opencart installation does not run on the main web folder make sure you folder it does run in ie. / becomes /shop/

### Additional Settings that may need to be enabled for some servers
### Uncomment the commands by removing the # sign in front of it.
### If you get an "Internal Server Error 500" after enabling any of the following settings, restore the # as this means your host doesn't allow that.

# 1. If your cart only allows you to add one item at a time, it is possible register_globals is on. This may work to disable it:
# php_flag register_globals off

# 2. If your cart has magic quotes enabled, This may work to disable it:
# php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off

# 3. Set max upload file size. Most hosts will limit this and not allow it to be overridden but you can try
# php_value upload_max_filesize 999M

# 4. set max post size. uncomment this line if you have a lot of product options or are getting errors where forms are not saving all fields
# php_value post_max_size 999M

# 5. set max time script can take. uncomment this line if you have a lot of product options or are getting errors where forms are not saving all fields
# php_value max_execution_time 200

# 6. set max time for input to be recieved. Uncomment this line if you have a lot of product options or are getting errors where forms are not saving all fields
# php_value max_input_time 200

# 7. disable open_basedir limitations
# php_admin_value open_basedir none

Is my .htaccess code good? Is there anything else to add? Or maybe to remove because unnecessary on a server managed by Cpanel?

+ How can I improve my server's first bite with WHM / Cpanel? My server is a Cloud VPS
4 vCores
3.1 GHz
8 GB RAM
100 GB

Thanks for your advices.

Hello,

I've moved this thread to our Optimization forum for open discussion from other users. I recommend testing the initial changes from your .htaccess file first and determining if you notice any performance issues.

Thank you.

It is tested, and re tested but not a specialist, there may be things to change.
