I’m getting some intermittent issues with a website running FastCGI and htaccess (under Plesk). I wanted to check my htaccess isn’t doing anything silly before I go kick my host(!) so wondered if someone would mind a quick sanity check on my htaccess?

# Start rewrite engine

# Turning on the rewrite engine is necessary for the following rules and
# features. FollowSymLinks must be enabled for this to work.
# Some cloud hosting services require RewriteBase to be set: goo.gl/HOcPN
# If using the h5bp in a subdirectory, use `RewriteBase /foo` instead where
# 'foo' is your directory.
# If your web host doesn't allow the FollowSymlinks option, you may need to
# comment it out and use `Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch`, but be aware of the
# performance impact: http://goo.gl/Mluzd
