    I’m curious why the recommendations in this KB are different than what SG Optimizer adds.
    https://www.siteground.com/kb/how-to-leverage-browser-caching/

    This is what’s added to .htaccess when I tick the box in the plugin.

    ExpiresDefault “access plus 6 months”

    So why the change? One year seems like a long time.

    I am try to add Expires Headers to a Woocommerce site. When I tick Browser-specific caching there are no additions to .htaaccess ?

    I don’t think the config should be the same for WooCommerce as a vanilla WordPress do you have any recommendations?

    I’d add the code to .htaccess but uncertain how this interacts with SG Optimser

    Thanks

    @ianpurves I am having the same issue, where i tick caching but nothing is added to my .htaccess file.
