    Please could I check, does your plugin have ‘expire headers’ facility? If not, is it ok to use W3 total cache as well for this purpose? Thank you.

    Hello,

    Yes you can access this feature by navigating to Cache > Static file headers

    @pbevanudp – What to do when customizable settings are not shown / not available?

    Hi.
    It means that your static file headers are already inserted, for example by some other plugin you use for optimization, or they can be directly written in htaccess.

    as @fkoomek suggested it’s probably set at server level or perhaps by another plugin.

    Thanks for the responsiveness. I don’t see that green tick in the screenshot above, I get this:

    “Browser static file caching headers are currently disabled.
    Follow this link to read the article about how to enable browser cache with your server software.”

    I did ask the hosting company to help and they have done this in the htaccess file as you remarked, so i guess all is good despite what the plugins are telling me.

    Thanks very much! Excellent plug in and response.

    You can check static file caching headers for example according to this tutorial https://mkyong.com/computer-tips/how-to-view-http-headers-in-google-chrome/
    click on any static file, like css, js, jpg, woff… and look for Cache-Control and there will be value in seconds. For example

    Cache-Control: max-age=2592000

    which means that the browser will keep the file in the cache for 30 days (30 x 24 x 60 x 60).

    Or check your site through
    https://pagespeed.web.dev/
    And see if it throws any alerts about static file headers.

    Thanks, the pagespeed reference was more helpful than Google’s own!

    The Mykong link isn’t there any more.

    Really appreciate that guys, thank you.
