Add browser caching headers (Cache-Control, Expires) and gzip compression (mod_deflate) to /var/www/html/.htaccess on testing.jaimisaunders.com so static assets aren't re-downloaded on every visit. Place the rules before the WordPress section. Verify headers and compression are working.

## Summary
### What I did
Added browser caching headers and gzip compression rules to `/var/www/html/.htaccess` on the `testing-app-1` container, placed **before** the WordPress rewrite section.
### File modified
**`/var/www/html/.htaccess`** — Added the `# BEGIN Profe Performance` block with three sections:
1. **mod_deflate** — Enables gzip compression for HTML, CSS, JS, JSON, XML, SVG
2. **mod_expires** — Sets far-future `Expires` headers per asset type (1 year for CSS/JS/fonts, 1 month for images, no-cache for HTML)
3. **mod_headers** — Sets `Cache-Control` headers with `immutable` for versioned CSS/JS/fonts, 1-month for images

### Issues encountered
- An earlier full write by a sibling subagent truncated the file; had to re-read and re-write.
- The `Header set` directives required careful FilesMatch quoting to avoid Apache 500 errors; the final set works correctly.
- Apache expired/headers modules were confirmed loaded, and AllowOverride All was already set in docker-php.conf.
