<h4>1. Add an Expires Header</h4>
<p>Web pages are becoming increasingly complex with more scripts, style sheets, images, and Flash on them. A first-time visit to a page may require several HTTP requests to load all the components. By using Expires headers these components become cacheable, which avoids unnecessary HTTP requests on subsequent page views. Expires headers are most often associated with images, but they can and should be used on all page components including scripts, style sheets, and Flash.</p>
<p>Using WP Avoid Slow reduces number of HTTP requests affecting the page load performance.</p>
<h4>2. Configure Etags</h4>
<p>Entity tags (ETags) are a mechanism web servers and the browser use to determine whether a component in the browser’s cache matches one on the origin server. Since ETags are typically constructed using attributes that make them unique to a specific server hosting a site, the tags will not match when a browser gets the original component from one server and later tries to validate that component on a different server.</p>
<p>WP Avoid Slow Configure Etags helping browsers to validate the component !!</p>
<h4>Please Note</h4>
<p>Performance can be measured via Yslow. <a href="http://developer.yahoo.com/yslow/" rel="nofollow ugc">Read More</a> about Yslow .</p>

<p>Using the password protection will give you extra security layer of protection from brute force hacking attacks. Additionally, it’s also an easy way to password protect your entire site, without needing to create separate WordPress users for each visitor.</p>
<p>When you enable the password protection, the user won’t be able to see anything – not even see the protected page – until he/she inserts the username/password. You can password protect the whole website, including the administrator pages; you can password protect the administrator pages; or you can password protect the WordPress login page.</p>
<p>The plugin options include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Enabling/disabling the password protection to wp-login.php, WordPress admin pages.</li>
<li>Modifying the existing users: you can change any .htaccess user’s password and remove the users.</li>
<li>Create/modify an unlimited number of .htaccess users;</li>
<li>Protect your whole site, making it accessible to only those who have the .htaccess user.</li>
</ul>
<p>This plugin is originally was based on <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/htaccess-site-access-control/" rel="ugc">.htaccess Site Access Control</a>. That plugin was working fine but it was abandoned for years and not compatible with the latest WordPress. Most part of the plugin were refactored and translated.</p>
