title: Shopify page speed improvements - htaccess, etc
body: <p>A client has complained that their website is slow, so I'm trying to implement some improvements.  The first thing I was going to do was modify their htaccess file but, being that they are using a Shopify system, it doesn't seem possible to do such a thing.</p>
  
  <p>How can I access and modify the .htaccess file for a Shopify website?  Or if I can not access .htaccess, how can I enable GZIP compression, Expire / Cache-control, etc.. How can I setup all the things that would normally be setup in an .htaccess file?</p>
