    Hi,
    I’ve been going back and forth with my hosting provider due to the site not only loading a bit slow but at times even timing out, I’ve since updated the account to add more resources however the 3 different reps I spoke with pointed at some scans they ran from gtmetrix.com and developers.google.com where it is suggested I “leverage browser caching”, gtmetrix suggests I set an expiration date at least one week in the future.

    Is this info correct, and how would I go about doing so? I was under the impression this is what gd_booster did but I already installed and enabled it with not an ounce of difference.

    Hi,

    this are minor optimization that will eventually speed up your loading time by less than 1%.

    If I remember well your hosting situation, what you need are more server resources.

    Thanks

    Hi Paolo,
    thanks for your reply, and yes you are correct as of last week you suggested I get an account with more resources, since then I upgraded to an account with 3x the original resources and it did help in speeding up page load times as well as overall performance.
    It appears some of the issues im having now still relate to my hosting account and im working with them to take care of it, however the question above was due to some suggestions I received from gtmetrix and google developer tools supposedly to improve performance and load times.

    I was just wondering if it had any merit as the site is scoring really low on both tests.

    Yes it will improve slightly, but it will not have a visible impact.

    That I can tell for sure.

    Thanks
