 * Hi,
 * I need help with the Following error in GTmetrix. Do you know What this means?
 * The following requests are returning 404/410 responses. Either fix the broken
   links, or remove the references to the non-existent resources.
 * [https://www.mywebsite.nl/wp-content/cache/caos-analytics/analytics.js](https://www.mywebsite.nl/wp-content/cache/caos-analytics/analytics.js)
 * One more thing: i think the plugin stopped working today because i can’t see 
   visitors in Google Analytics?
 * Thanks,
    Chantal

 * Hi Chantal,
 * Yes, it means that the analytics.js can’t be found. Could you try triggering 
   the download manually from your WordPress backend: Settings > Optimize Analytics
   > ‘update analytics.js’.
 * That should fix it. If not, let me know!

 * One more question: What is the best cookie expiry period? I have set it on 2 
   days. What would you suggest?

 * I’m happy that fixed your issue. Just keep an eye on it; this might mean that
   you’re WordPress-install isn’t allowed to automatically save files to your server.
   Which could mean a server misconfiguration. It could also mean that, now the 
   file is created, your WordPress-install can automatically update it and the problem
   is resolved 🙂
 * The best cookie expiry period is anywhere between 1 day and 1 month. So you’re
   golden 🙂
