regarding your hint about caching:

the warning is about 3 google analytics resources, and two fonts.

1. we have set the analytics via the admin setting panel, how can we add expiry date to these resources?
2. how can we add expiry date to other resources? as the answers found via google address the htaccess file, which doesn’t exist in the discourse folder. do you have any idea how I should that?

Thanks for the advice, but I can’t understand what is this size for?! as even when the plugins are deactivated, our site size is only slightly different from this number! how can one find out what is the size for?

Thanks in advance
