Various Options
• w3 total cache
Used these Settings and page speed improved, but got 4 errors (css & js default files): http://zemalf.com/1443/w3-total-cache/
Finally found a very straight-forward solution, without any plug-ins. I de-activated WT3Cache and pasted the
code at the top of my .htaccess file for the blog. Page speed went from 48 to 68, and no more errors.

Open up your .htaccess file and paste in the following directives at the top of the file:
## EXPIRES CACHING ##
