Hello, I've been trying to speed up my website via PageSpeed Insights. Which is now scoring 90 / 100.

I've edited my .htaccess file quite a bit. Could someone look it over and tell me if there's anything that shouldn't be in there.

The 2 that concern me most are the 'Turn ETags Off' and the 'Remove Last-Modified Header'.

Should both of those be in there together?

Also another thing is I have a few pages where prices are updated daily. If a user was to visit 1 day, then come back the next. Would they see the updated prices with the way I have the cache settings?

And if I'm scoring 90 / 100 on PageSpeed Insights, do I really need to worry about improving it further?

Thanks!

I honestly haven't a clue to be honest! Yeah I've been using GTMetrix and PageSpeed Insights.

PageSpeed Insights gives me a mark of 89 - 91 out of a 100.

GT Metrix gives me a page speed grade of 96% and a YSlow grade of 91%.


There's a few things I could still change to improve it, but at the minute I'm thinking it could just be more hassle than its actually worth. For the time being anyways.
I just wanted to know if everything looked ok in the htaccess file and that nothing's contradicting anything.

I'm also unsure about the cache settings and how it will affect the daily price update on some of my pages if the user had viewed the page the previous day. Would I need to change the HTML settings at all for that?
