WP and W 3Total Cache

I have W3 Total Cache running and using MaxCDN. But according to Pingdom I'm still getting a terrible score on browser cache.

Not sure where the problem.

Anyone else had this issue.

The site I'm trying to work on is:
http://tv.powwows.com

Maybe another plugin stepping on the settings for browser cache??

Thanks for any help.

Have you updated the below code in your .htaccess file?
I am pretty sure it is missing on your .htaccess, that's why your images, js, css are not cached in the browser.

PHP Code:

After adding the code, you have to fix "High Priority" and "Medium Prority" issues specified in Google Page Speed
https://developers.google.com/speed/...F&mobile=false

If you can increase your score more than 90, then your website will much faster.

Thanks, I'll start looking at the suggested changes on Google's page spped site.

For the htaccess file. I'm on IIS. How do I implement this on IIS?

Thanks!

Try to add below code in your web.config under <system.webServer> tag

HTML Code:

---

    <httpCompression directory="%SystemDrive%\inetpub\temp\IIS Temporary Compressed Files">
      <scheme name="gzip" dll="%Windir%\system32\inetsrv\gzip.dll"/>
      <dynamicTypes>
        <add mimeType="text/*" enabled="true"/>
        <add mimeType="message/*" enabled="true"/>
        <add mimeType="application/javascript" enabled="true" />
        <add mimeType="application/x-javascript" enabled="true"/>
        <add mimeType="application/javascript; charset=utf-8" enabled="true"/>
        <add mimeType="*/*" enabled="false"/>
      </dynamicTypes>
      <staticTypes>
        <add mimeType="text/*" enabled="true"/>
        <add mimeType="message/*" enabled="true"/>
        <add mimeType="application/javascript" enabled="true"/>
        <add mimeType="application/x-javascript" enabled="true"/>
        <add mimeType="application/javascript; charset=utf-8" enabled="true"/>
        <add mimeType="*/*" enabled="false"/>
      </staticTypes>
    </httpCompression>
    <urlCompression doStaticCompression="true" doDynamicCompression="true"/>

    <staticContent>
      <clientCache cacheControlMode="UseExpires" httpExpires="Tue, 19 Jan 2038 03:14:07 GMT" />
    </staticContent>

Here is what I have in my web.config now:
