.htaccess

[snike]

Does .htaccess make your pages load slower for the visitors? Does it depend on the server or user's connection?

It would probably take a few milliseconds or smaller to do anything with an .htaccess serverside.

I don't think it has to do with the user's connection as they don't actually download the file.

That's correct. .htaccess simply allows you to override (some of) Apache's configuration parameters for the folder it's placed in, and all of the folders within until another .htaccess is found.

Thanks. Is there a way to find out what my server speed is?

You mean your server's CPU speed?

If you have WHM, you can find out by clicking on "Server Information."

It not, then try asking your host.

Or do you mean how quick your scritps process?
