I was googling all over the pages, trying to find what could be wrong before trying to contact the developers at tools.pingdom.com, gtmetrix.com, juxseo.com, and other sites.

Since I have changed my .htaccess file to handle the 301 redirection, forwarding mydomain.com to mydomain.com, those web tools do not work proper anymore.

Here is my .htaccess of my php application hosted at cpanel.

IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti* */robots* */oc-admin*

<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
</Limit>
<Limit PUT DELETE>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Limit>

AuthName mydomain.com
AuthUserFile /host/mycpanelusername/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd
AuthGroupFile /host/mycpanelusername/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.grp

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /~mybasefolder/
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /~mybasefolder/index.php [L]
#maybe this is causing issues to pingdom.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain.com$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http://www.mydomain.com/" [R=301,L]
#set the charset and not in html (a best practice)
AddDefaultCharset utf-8


So, anyone maybe could give me a clue?

here is the pingdom result after adding the Rewrite statements
