* I’ve just tried this plugin because it looks really great, but I can’t find the
setting to enable “Leverage Browser Caching” which should be available according
to the specs.

* Hi,
* You can find it under Settings > Caching > General

* Just check Enable Browser Cache option

* I must have missed it, but I see it’s on by default and so it is on the site
I’m testing the plugin on. GTMetrix however shows it needs optimization. So I
still need to add the Expire headers rules to my .htaccess myself. I was hoping
that your plugin would take care of it.

* Are you using Apache or Litespeed?

* Strange. And static files are served by Apache or Nginx? Can you also copy the
htaccess code which solved the issue?
* Thanks!

* Apache, I guess…
* When I add the following lines to .htaccess of the site it’s fine. That’s how
I did it before, but as I said, I was wondering if your plugin would take care
of that.

* Neither am I. I’ll test it tomorrow on another website and do a test with all
plugins deactivated to check for a conflict.
* At least it’s not an issue, that .htaccess isn’t writable, because other lines
are added by Swift Performance.
