    I’m trying to get one or two small bits finished and I’ve got everything else sorted but when in Google PageSpeed, I get this warning for Leverage Browser Cache:

    Setting an expiry date or a maximum age in the HTTP headers for static resources instructs the browser to load previously downloaded resources from local disk rather than over the network.

    – Anyone have any thoughts at all?

    Most caching plugins, like http://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/wp-super-cache/ provide this feature. I’m honestly not sure about doing it without a plugin, since I’ve always used cache plugins.

    A cache plugin will do that, but yes, you can totally do it on your own in .htaccess 🙂

    Looks like this:

    # Expired
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
<Filesmatch "\.(jp?eg|png|gif|ico|woff)$">
    ExpiresActive on
    ExpiresDefault "access 1 year"
</Filesmatch>

<Filesmatch "\.(css|js|swf|mov|mp3|mpeg|mp4|ogg|ogv|ttf|xml|svg|html)$">
    ExpiresActive on
    ExpiresDefault "access 1 month"
</Filesmatch>

    ExpiresDefault "access 2 days"
</IfModule>
## END EXPIRES ##

    Nice one.

    That’s a smarter version of the many I’ve seen over the years, Mika.

    I’m assuming then that the …

    ExpiresDefault "access 2 days"

    … would look after the core.php file, yes?
