When you are pulling in third-party JavaScripts’ such as Google Analytics or social bookmarking scripts, they will not be included in your server-side far future header settings.

The problem with this, is YSlow! shows this in the results, but really there isn’t much you can do about third-party hosted scripts.

Thanks for the respect Mark! Much appreciated.

In any case, all the info you have been providing here has been terrific so wanted to let you know thanks for the good articles.

The one that gets most people is the “Use a CDN”. This is something global corporations are more likely to use to improve speeds.

It’s not particularly relevant for the general user. However, you can bypass this feature by adding your own CDN to Firefox. Here is the FAQ on doing this: http://developer.yahoo.com/yslow/faq.html#faq_cdn

I found this article and that is terrific. I went over to read the comments and it seem the author hasn’t had a chance to really test it on WordPress so I was wondering how you were doing with this. Did you have to create a subdirectory like in the comments over there?

I need to do this, especially for the gzip because for some strange reason my WordPress wont save the box I checked for gzip. It works on my sub-domains but not my main site. Weird. But anyways, I am very curious because it sounds like it would solve some issues but a little nervous at the moment about messing around with it.
