 * I ran this and enabled HTML and CSS. I held off on js to make sure it worked 
   before i risked breaking a script. When I ran the tests again at [https://gtmetrix.com/reports/evilempiregaming.com/ecuj7ULd](https://gtmetrix.com/reports/evilempiregaming.com/ecuj7ULd)
   nothing has changed. Does anyone have any insight on this?

 * hmmm … hard to say, but your site seems very slow. some generic tips to start
   off with;
    * make sure you have a page caching solution (plugin, generally, such
   as wp super cache or hyper cache). * do not inline all CSS, you have that much
   CSS that this hurts your performance * when optimizing JS, add “userSettings”(
   without the quotes) to the JS-optimization exclusion list, to avoid that block
   of inline JS to continuously break AO’s cache
 * hope this helps,
    frank

 * I’m currently running the following for “speed improvement”:
    1. autoptimize 
   2. EWWW optimizer cloud 3. WordPress GZIP compression 4. WP Super Simple Speed
   5. ZenCache
 * I am focusing my efforts on evilempiregaming.com/sbs as that’s the site I’ve 
   been actually working on. I’m not going to waste time on the others until I fix
   the speed issues. It’s running the same theme as the home domain. I’m starting
   to think it’s the host I am using (arvixe.com), but I was hoping to at least 
   get it to load in a few seconds .

 * Hi MattFL850,
 * Part of the problem is that you’re using a GZIP plugin that uses the PHP `ob_gzhandler()`
   callback. So, ZenCache is not working: use `mod_deflate` w/ Apache or use `zlib.
   output_compression` in your `php.ini` file and ZenCache will start caching your
   pages.
 * You should also deactivate and delete WP Super Simple Speed (it’s more of a hammer
   than a scalpel); or, at the very least delete the other GZIP plugin as WPSSS 
   handles GZIP. Your `.HTACCESS` is undoubtedly a mess at this point…
 * Best,
    AJ

 * AJ…just add the line `zlib.output_compression` to my php.ini file? I have deleted
   the plugin you suggested.

 * adding that line broke the page so im assuming i did it wrong.

 * Don’t inline all CSS this actually will degrade your performance. Let Autoptimize
   combine all the CSS into as few as files as possible.
 * The reason is if you don’t then on a return visit the website will be slow due
   to the fact the browser can’t cache all of that inline CSS. Then, I would look
   at removing ShareThis and use custom HTML share buttons. I have a GitHub repository
   that has a lot of default HTML buttons that you could play around with to design
   and such.

 * Hi MattFL850,
 * If WordPress GZIP compression was the plugin you deleted and you still have WP
   Super Simple Speed installed, then you should be good to go concerning compression
   since WP Super Simple Speed implements gzip compression using `mod_deflate`.
 * Don’t take this the wrong way, but it appears you’ve been willy-nilly throwing
   plugins at the site; as such, there are likely very serious issues with the site’s`.
   HTACCESS` too. The fundamental problem right now is pretty clearly server response
   time and conflicting and/or malformed directives, so you’ll want to get compression
   dealt with and clean up `.HTACCESS` before moving forward with optimizing the
   site for performance.
 * Best,
    AJ
