I have very basic plugins/mods installed in both the sites. No caching/ no SEO tools/ no SEO mods. Only .httaccess rules are applied as follows:
wordpress
`RedirectMatch 301 ^/([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})/([^/]+).html$ http://mywebsite.com/$3
# BEGIN WordPress
<ifmodule mod_rewrite.c="">RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]</ifmodule>
# END WordPress
<files wp-config.php="">order allow,deny
deny from all</files>
# directory browsing
Options All -Indexes
<files ~="" "^.*\.([hh][tt][aa])"="">order allow,deny
deny from all
satisfy all</files>`
phpBB:
`~~[code]~~RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
<ifmodule mod_expires.c=""># Enable expirations
ExpiresActive On
# Default directive
ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 month"</ifmodule>
# directory browsing
Options All -Indexes
<files ~="" "^.*\.([hh][tt][aa])"="">order allow,deny
deny from all
satisfy all</files>`
What may be the possible reason for such a low score in phpBB site? I have applied to "Leverage Browser Caching Rules", but it is not in effect actually.
Please help me to improve my score.
Sorry, if I am Off-topic.[/tt][/code][/tt]

You may also want to run your sites through
@obs:
Have you installed php apc? That will improve php's processing time quite a bit.
I am getting excellent speed with wordpress (primary site) without using any cache plugin / php APC.
But score is poor with phpBB (secondary site) only. So, it may be a tuning issue with phpBB. I fear installing php APC may reduce the performance of my main site. I may be completely wrong with this view.
