Wish2: Add Cache-Control max-age

Hi Per,

Cloud you elaborate on the reasons for needing a configurable cache control option? The Weblob data type that WP2Cloud uses to store media files in the cloud generates a new URL every time the data changes, so there is no functional need to have an expiration policy.

Hi Artem,

I’m planing to move my site to aws. I’ve have a test site at https://aws.soderlind.no/ built on your linux + mysql instance (not the yapixx instance) where I’ve added apc, php-fpm, nginx (with fastcgi cache and the purge cache module) and wordpress with the nginx, wp2cloud and w3 total cache plugins. I monitor the site using new relic.

Content is distributed using cloudfront (cdn01 = wblob, cdn02 = js, css + etc ) and cloudflare.

Tuning for speed, gtmatrix and pingdom complains that the wblob files should have a expiration time ( Cache-Control max-age: “one week or more”). w3 total cache sets the expiration time for the files on cdn02 but not for the image files in cdn01.

Here’s the result from tools.pingdom.com: https://screencast.com/t/jG5MOhNAn1yH

Hi Per,

Thank you for report! It looks like ClouSE doesn’t set the cache control headers, so S3 uses its default expiration policy which is one hour, I believe. I filed a bug suggesting that ClouSE should set max-age to a year (or more) in the future.

Hi Artem,

Any news on this ?

This feature will be available in the next release of ClouSE, hopefully within a month.

Excellent, looking forward to it.

Just released a new version of ClouSE. Now the max-age is set to one year in the future.

Thank you ! ??

Eh .. how can I update / add the max-age for existing images ? I’m using cloudfront.

Hi Per,

ClouSE doesn’t set cache control headers for existing Weblobs. You can do it manually if you don’t have a lot of objects or you can use a script.

I used Bucket Explorer to change the max-age.
