Similar to LEMP server, after the installation is complete, you should optimize LAMP server with the following tips.
Leverage browser caching
I will guide you how to add Expires headers to your .htaccess file to take advantage of browser caching. This method helps minimize HTTP requests to the server by using static files such as images, css, javascript saved in the cache of the browser when you visit our website for the first time.
Adding Expires header into your .htaccess file
In this example we will add a header to a static file types such as:
Activate GZIP Compression for Apache Server
GZIP optimization and acceleration by compressing Web content returned from the server every time a request sent to.
To do this, you only need to add the following paragraph at the end of the .htaccess file. Apache 1.3 using Apache 2.x mod_gzip while using mod_deflate.
Configure mod_gzip for Apache 1.3.x
Configure Mod_deflate for Apache 2.x
To test it was successful or not you use the tool - redbot.org, fill your site link and look for the line Content-Encoding: Gzip in the returned results then Gzip is activated.
Good luck!

Time for caching
Here's the code I used, you add to end of the .htaccess file
Code:
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
# Enable expirations
ExpiresActive On
# Default directive
ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 month"
# My favicon
ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access plus 1 year"
# Images
ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType image/jpg "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 1 month"
# CSS
ExpiresByType text/css "access 1 month"
# Javascript
ExpiresByType application/javascript "access plus 1 year"
