Kako bi ubrzali rad stranice, u velikom broju slučajeva znatno pomaže kompresiranje podataka prije nego što se šalju browseru te spremanje datoteka u cache browsera na duži period od standardnih 24 sata.
U nastavku je set Apache .htaccess pravila koji se upisuju u .htaccess datoteci kako bi se izvršilo kompresiranje određenih vrsta datoteka i pravila za podešavanje cache vremena:
