Add expires headers

  • Hello,

    From gmetrix i am getting the following problem :
    Add expires headers and it’s giving me the following links :

    There are 7 static components without a far-future expiration date.

    I have already added headers but the problem still persists, any help on how to write the headers for these specific problems would be highly appreciated. Thanks

  • Hello,

    put the following block of code in your .htaccess file,

    # BEGIN Expire headers
    <ifModule mod_expires.c>
    ExpiresActive On
    ExpiresDefault “access plus 5 seconds”
    ExpiresByType image/x-icon “access plus 2592000 seconds”
    ExpiresByType image/jpeg “access plus 2592000 seconds”
    ExpiresByType image/png “access plus 2592000 seconds”
    ExpiresByType image/gif “access plus 2592000 seconds”
    ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash “access plus 2592000 seconds”
    ExpiresByType text/css “access plus 604800 seconds”
    ExpiresByType text/javascript “access plus 648000 seconds”
    ExpiresByType application/javascript “access plus 648000 seconds”
    ExpiresByType application/x-javascript “access plus 648000 seconds”
    ExpiresByType text/html “access plus 600 seconds”
    ExpiresByType application/xhtml+xml “access plus 600 seconds”
    </ifModule>
    # END Expire headers

    and try again

    Let me show you my .htaccess file just in case i break something! I am using JCH plugin to do that but still gmetrix shows those results. Have a look, let me know if i can do something to improve it! :

    # BEGIN rlrssslReallySimpleSSL rsssl_version[2.3.6]
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
# END rlrssslReallySimpleSSL
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress
