Hi forum,
I have got a real headache going on about setting my expires headers.
I’ve successfully done all the basic configuration is my .htaccess
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive on
ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 month"
# CSS
ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 1 year"
# Data interchange
ExpiresByType application/json "access plus 1 week”
ExpiresByType application/xml "access plus 1 week”
ExpiresByType text/xml "access plus 1 week”
# Favicon (cannot be renamed!)
ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access plus 1 year”
# HTML components (HTCs)
ExpiresByType text/x-component "access plus 1 month"
# HTML
ExpiresByType text/html "access plus 0 seconds"
# JavaScript
ExpiresByType application/javascript "access plus 1 year"
# Manifest files
ExpiresByType application/x-web-app-manifest+json "access plus 1 week”
ExpiresByType text/cache-manifest "access plus 1 week”
# Media
ExpiresByType audio/ogg "access plus 1 year”
ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType video/mp4 "access plus 1 year"
ExpiresByType video/ogg "access plus 1 year”
ExpiresByType video/webm "access plus 1 year”
# Web feeds
ExpiresByType application/atom+xml "access plus 1 day”
ExpiresByType application/rss+xml "access plus 1 day”
# Web fonts
ExpiresByType application/font-woff "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType application/vnd.ms-fontobject "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType application/x-font-ttf "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType font/opentype "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType image/svg+xml "access plus 1 month"
</IfModule>
All of this is working lovely. But my problem now lies in a few instances where resources aren’t being covered by this code. GTmetrix can list the individual resources but I have no idea how to manually change the expire time.
I have spoken with dreamhost and they don’t support
mod_expires
which seems weird but seems to be true.
I just don’t know where to go from here.
From what I can tell I will need to go deeper into apache but I need to be given baby steps if this is the case. I am hoping your collective genius can guide me through.
Here are the following resources that need expires set:
