Still Scoring a 7 for Leverage browser caching on pingdom

You can’t control Google resources. They mess up everybody’s results.

Have you turned on the Browser Caching setting (had to ask)?

Look at your .htaccess files. Are there any conflicting directives?

I’m very newbie here so please – no problem if you have to ask me ‘dumb’ questions – I’m fairly dumb!

In terms of Htaccess, I dont know what this means ‘Permission of .htacces must 644’

Here is my htaccess file – I can’t see a conflict
# BEGIN WpFastestCache

So is this the best I can do with your product? It is slower now in the rankings?

Your cache control is definitely not what it should be.

In the WP Fastest Cache settings, make sure that Browser Caching is turned on and save the settings.

Pay attention to any error messages that appear ANYWHERE on the page and check error_logo and wp-admin/error_log for any related issues from the time of saving the settings.

hi @petezzzz, can you disable varnish cache and try please?
