Advanced Cache Rules (.htaccess)

SpeedyGo automatically manages advanced server-level optimization rules inside the .htaccess file. This eliminates the need for manual configuration while ensuring optimal performance.

26.1 Overview #

Instead of requiring manual edits, the plugin injects optimized directives for:

  • mod_expires
  • mod_headers
  • mod_mime

These rules handle:

  • Browser caching headers
  • MIME type configuration
  • Compression behavior
  • Static file expiration

Technical Context #

  • Uses WordPress core function: insert_with_markers()
  • Injects rules between:
# BEGIN SPEEDY GO
...
# END SPEEDY GO
  • Ensures safe overwriting without affecting other rules
  • Prevents duplication of configuration blocks
  • Removes rules automatically when the feature is disabled

26.2 Compatibility #

This approach maintains compatibility with:

  • Shared hosting environments
  • Apache-based servers
  • Other plugins modifying .htaccess

26.3 Best Practice Recommendation #

  • Avoid manually editing SpeedyGo-managed blocks
  • Backup .htaccess before making major changes
  • Ensure Apache modules (mod_expires, mod_headers) are enabled

Advanced Cache Rules ensure secure, automated, and optimized server-level performance configuration.
