Leverage browser caching warning

Have the same issue… Think this i because no expire header for analytics.js is set. Unfortunatly the plugin does not have an option for this, and I don’t know how to enable this for analytics.js ??

An expire header is set on server level. There’s nothing I can do about it. Try tweaking your server’s settings. Perhaps the analytics.js is too small (Nginx has a setting which only adds headers to files larger than a certain size) or is saved in a directory excluded by your Apache or Nginx configuration.

Normal expire header are set in .htaccess, not on server level

Okay, it’s a matter of semantics, I guess. ??

.htaccess is an Apache configuration file. I’d call that server level. But I guess, since it’s located in the web root, you could call it something else. ??

Anyway, it’s something that I shouldn’t attempt to influence with this plugin. Because I feel it’s beyond the scope of this plugin.

I thought the same, as I’m using W3TC and somehow they don’t have default expiration in settings (or I’m not able to set it). I wanted to avoid manual editing, but I will probably do it now, as there is also issue of ice and with FB pixel (if I activate it). Thanks.

@komitaltrade,

There are ways to edit .htaccess through PHP (from within a plugin). Many plugins do it, WP Fastest Cache is an example, W3TC does it too. From these plugins it’s expected, because it adds to the User Experience. But like I said, it’s far beyond the scope of this plugin.

Another way to put it: I think many people will be negatively surprised once they see that CAOS (a plugin which downloads/updates your analytics.js and nothing else, basically) also edits the Apache/Nginx configuration.

Although I’m not sure if I could edit Ngunx configuration from within PHP, since Nginx configuration is usually not located within the web root. Unlike Apache.

1) Leverage is solved by (you can use other expiration time)

# BEGIN Expires Headers
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresDefault “access plus 7 days”
</IfModule>
# END Expires Headers

2) Yes you can edit Nginx configuration (Google “leverage nginx”).

BTW – Is it particular reason to not use minified version of analytics.js (as it is already striped locally)?

Thanks for your help, @komitaltrade

I’m pretty sure I’m using the minified version. I’m using the same one Google uses in their snippet.
