 Hi,

I had 2 quick queries

(a) My site is hosted on hostgator, which offers a site protection against hackers called site lock. I wanted to understand whether this gives me any additional protection over what is already offered by admin tools (I have set up and enabled most of the safety features and they are running fine). I do not mind bearing the additional cost of site lock, if it helps make the site even more secure, but i was concerned about potential conflict issues.

(b) I had raised a previous query regarding what compression options to use, since Joomla, the yoo master template and sh404sef also provide their own compression options. The reply was to only enable admin tools compression, and leave all the others unenabled. I just wanted to confirm that i should not enable ANY (including gzip compression of joomla and url compression of sh404sef)

Thanks for the assistance.

1. I am not familiar with HostGator's Site Lock, but running multiple security programs sounds like trouble to me. I would run one or the other, but not both. (I'm a HostGator customer, guess which one I'm running. :-) )
2. That is correct, just use the compression in Admin Tools. Admin Tools actually sets up the compression in .htaccess and it runs at the Apache server level which is much faster than the PHP level compression that you would get through your theme, Joomla! or sh404sef.
