  EasyApache includes modules intentionally to provide the most secure, stable server for you. To check to see if you can remove any of them, I'd recommend looking through the documentation from both us and Apache. You can find our documentation on the various Apache modules here: For Apache version 2.4 - To answer your question in a general sense, most (if not all) of the modules in that list are part of a standard EasyApache installation. Some of them you can remove, if you wish to, by deselecting them in EasyApache. We are also in the process of updating our Apache module documentation, so if you come across anything confusing, please make sure to let us know so we can improve it for you.

  thank you however most of them have confusing names, some I am aware of what they do and why they are needed, however some have no sense at all I am trying to trim server down a touch, but everyday I improve something I have a momentary improvement on websites loading then following back to high TTFB the load on server is low, mysql is optimized to within an inch of its life, so the modules is the last port of call before I bang my head on wall repeatedly lol thanks

  I agree a lot of the names are confusing, I'm addressing that as I am rewriting them. If you have specific ones you have questions about, I can try my best to answer them. Your EasyApache module selection does not look unusual. You might want to check the following things just in case: Mod Security rule list - Make sure it is not long, and that the rules are efficiently organized. The Apache error log - /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log Look for errors and warnings, as well as maybe a script that isn't operating efficiently and is making multiple calls to Apache that it doesn't need to Our Optimization forum: [url=http://forums.cpanel.net/optimization.html]Optimization might have additional information for you.
