@tonykellyrdlabs, Yes, both the files doesn’t ship with the plugin. .htaccess file has been created automatically when you install a WordPress and .htaccess.wppsb file has been created when you activate this plugin. .htaccess.wppsb is just a backup copy of .htaccess file.
You can find both the files by using FTP.
.htaccess file can be found in your WordPress installation root directory (/public_html in most of the cases) whereas .htaccess.wppsb file can be found under (/public_html/)wp-content/wp-performance-score-booster directory.

I hope this helps.
Appreciate your fast response, I have managed to fix it with your advice.
For anyone else that might be confused in the future, I couldnt see the .htaccess files when I logged into my server by ssh, but they were there when I logged in via FTP. Not sure why this is, but the FTP method works anyway!
Excellent support, will note this in my review.
@tonykellyrdlabs, Glad that it’s sorted, and I really appreciate you take few minutes to submit a 5-star review.
In most of the cases, SSH default directory is / (root) whereas the default directory for FTP is /public_html (where your website files sits). This might be the reason you didn’t see .htaccess when you logged in using SSH.
