Though my first byte time is awful, I’ve been on the leverage browser caching war path for months now and need to get serious. It’ll probably be obvious, I’m not a pro at this stuff.
I use W3TC and WP Minify. I have four .htaccess files - 1 root, 2 W3TC, 1 WP Minify. My gut is the root file is a car crash, after 1.5 years of trying to learn some things…
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5s .php
BEGIN .htaccess
#Begin gzip and deflate

Any initial guidance re the mess I’m in would be appreciated. Again, I’m thinking my .htaccess file(s) may be the issue.
Thank You…
