Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WP Performance Score Booster – Optimize Speed, Enable Cache & Page Preload

This plugin makes website faster, speed-up page load time and instantly improve website scores in tools like Google PageSpeed Insights, GTmetrix, Pingdom, and more.

GZIP compression ( mod_deflat module ) should be enabled in your web-server. If not then you can ask your web hosting provider to enable it for you. .htaccess in your WordPress root folder must have write permissions.

If you get "500 - Internal Server Error" after you activate the plugin, Follow the steps below: Login to your FTP or open File Manager (ask your hosting provider). Go to the WordPress installation root directory and then wp-content/wp-performance-score-booster directory. Copy .htaccess.wppsb file. Now move back to WordPress installation root directory and Rename the .htaccess file (to something like .htaccess.bak). Paste .htaccess.wppsb file (copied from step 3) and rename it to .htaccess. That's it! Your site should be up and running now. • You can still open a support thread if you have any issues.
