<p>This week I ran a page speed test from both gtmetrix, and google PageSpeed tool (from within my webmaster tools) scores the homepage at 79. I need help to improve my page speed. Server load time test fast, but both tools indicate I need to optimize images, and also seems javascript loading slows the page.</p>
<p>Currently I am on shared hosting/ssd server, and the website runs on OC ver 2.3.0.2, using Journal theme. I have turned on some optimizations from my cPanel, and that did help a bit. Thought that the directives in htaccess would do help compress, but it doesn't seem to compress everything.
I am not a coder, so hoping someone can provide suggestions, and maybe critique the htaccess file (on many levels, such as security, etc)?</p>
Thanks,
in admin go to journal
open settings, near the bottom you will see system and performance.
make sure you have all options set to on.
Now retest and you will see your score has increased.
(just in case you had not done this yet)
next in your .htaccess
remove all code and add this one

@victorj thank you for replying. So that I understand the directives you provided:
1. It will still resolve all pages to https , correct?
2. You are using DEFLATE, instead of gzip directives. In what ways is deflate more effective?
3. The remove browser bugs, was included more than once. Is this a typo?
In Journal, I have already the parts On for speed and perf.
Also, from my speed tests - mentions were made about defer JavaScript, either by async or other method. Somewhere I had read that by defer Javascripts, could possibly cause problems elsewhere? Could you explain this? If I read incorrect, how could I go about implementing this? ** I notice my google analytics script is already async.

"Access Security Warning" ? @IP_CAM which browser are you using? I occasionally check myself, using firefox and opera browsers, and do not get a warnings. Google WMT also gives it a go, with no security errors. Very interesting point - will look into it further.
Thanks/ vielen danke
