1) Take advantage of caching to save the trips for static contents.
Use Expires or Cache-Control:
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
### activate mod_expires
ExpiresActive On
### Expire .gif's 1 month from when they're accessed
ExpiresByType image/gif A2592000
### Expire .jpg's 1 month from when they're accessed
ExpiresByType image/jpg "access 1 month"
### Expire everything else 1 day from when it's last modified
ExpiresDefault "modification plus 1 day"
### Apply a Cache-Control header to index.html
<Files index.html>
Header append Cache-Control "max-age=3600, must-revalidate"
</Files>
</IfModule>
