 * 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://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-super-cache/](http://wordpress.org/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.

   file myself

 * 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?
