#END PERFORMANCE

Well, this is the result of a process of a plugin called https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-wp-security/, are the security rules from the configuration of this plugin.

We only add some rules, some other rules of apache are taken because we can not modify or touch the server directly, in the case of some of our customers who have shared servers to apply these rules.

About X-Powered-By header, for us Gist is like a reference file, it is not a tutorial and they are not obliged to use the file, it must suppose that you must replace LOOR Lab by the name that you want to use.

If you can share a .htaccess that is the one indicated would be of great help.

Thanks !
