Set Expire Headers

  • Hi, I could use some guidance.

    I have working on the performance of my simple blog but cannot seem to get past the expire headers issue, per YSlow (grade 0 – F).

    I have set the .htaccess code in place that the majority of help forums suggest. It looks like this:

    <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 plus 1 month”
    # Javascript
    ExpiresByType application/javascript “access plus 1 year”
    </IfModule>

    Specifically, here is what the performance test is saying to me:

    There are 13 static components without a far-future expiration date.

  • You simply can’t add or modify expires headers to external resources, such as from gravatar, amazon, etc. They’re not from your server or domain. And your minified resources won’t get headers because they are concatenated.
