Hi,

I ran a speed test for my site with Google Page Speed (and some other tools as well). The Google tool shows that i need to leverage browser caching and the expiration date for cacheable files in my site is currently set to 24h. I did a little bit of searching and found this to insert into my .htaccess:

<IfModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 year"
ExpiresByType text/html "access plus 1 second"
ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 2592000 seconds"
ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 2592000 seconds"
ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 2592000 seconds"
ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access plus 2592000 seconds"
ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 604800 seconds"
ExpiresByType text/javascript "access plus 604800 seconds"
ExpiresByType application/x-javascript "access plus 604800 seconds"
</IfModule>

So i did. From user's point of view it seems a little bit faster than before, so i assumed it's working. However, the Google Page speed and other tools still says that i need to leverage browser caching. Basically nothing changed there. Am i doing something wrong here?

Thanks
