Just wondered if anyone knows how to enable Keep Alive. It's always the first thing that GTMetrix says to do! I've broken my site 3 or 4 times trying to add it to my htaccess file but still haven't gotten it to stick and still be able to login to my site.

Thank ya' for your help folks!

Supposedly this should have been handled through the Site Speed upgrades but I'm not so sure it actually did, Allie!

Doesn't appear that it was handled through the new site speed as I just got this message yesterday.

I'm thinking you're right. SiteSpeed is still beta stage to my understanding so definitely voice your concerns to Support so that they can add it to their list of bugs to fix... well, if ya' want to call it a bug, eh?

Hey folks, it's not difficult. Install and activate the plugin WP thaccess editor, then click on the editor and add a small piece of text to the bottom which is in this link:

On second thoughts, it's giving me a lot of problems. Don't use it, let's try something else

Thank ya' Orlando... sure do appreciate it!

I sure do appreciate it Orlando!!!

Sorry, just saw this :)

Quick update folks...

I heard back from the folks at Elegant Themes and they gave me this link... https://varvy.com/pagespeed/keep-alive.html
Problem is that I get a 'Server 500' error and can't access the site, pretty much breaks it. So I just have to figure out exactly how and where to enter it in my htaccess file.

Now would be a great time to have a little coding knowledge, ey?

I just found out I am having the same problem and I don't think I need anymore by installing something else sooo... if I find another solution I'll let you know. :)

I hope you get the answer soon.
Cheers, Tosh :)

Thanks for sharing, really found it very helpful.

Here is the most recent post on GT Metrix for any possible tips.

Thank ya' Michael, I'll be checking it out right away!!!

Hope to learn also.

Don't know what that is. I look forward to the answers you get.

You and me both James! Thanks man!

Do you mean Keep Alive or Chrome Stay Alive?

Naw, it's definitely Keep Alive... comes up when you test your site speed at GTMetrix. It's really got me stumped!

I would ask Marion, she would know,

I'm thinking your right, Mike. I'd ask Chris but I know that guys is just swamped right now! Thank ya' partner!

Marion suggested to ask Support.
