 * I’m running tests on gtmetrix and getting a lot of problems with the leveraging
   of the browser caching part.
    Note that I do have this in the .htaccess file:
 *     ```
       <IfModule mod_expires.c>
         ExpiresActive On
   
         # Images
         ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 1 year"
         ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 1 year"
         ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 1 year"
         ExpiresByType image/webp "access plus 1 year"
         ExpiresByType image/svg+xml "access plus 1 year"
         ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access plus 1 year"
   
         # Video
         ExpiresByType video/mp4 "access plus 1 year"
         ExpiresByType video/mpeg "access plus 1 year"
   
         # CSS, JavaScript
         ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 1 month"
         ExpiresByType text/javascript "access plus 1 month"
         ExpiresByType application/javascript "access plus 1 month"
   
         # Others
         ExpiresByType application/pdf "access plus 1 month"
         ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash "access plus 1 month"
       </IfModule>
       ```
   
 *     ```
       Leverage browser caching for the following cacheable resources:

 * I see expires headers of 1 month for your .js files just like your .htaccess 
   rules stipulate. I’ve no idea why GTMetrix thinks it’s 1 day. You’ve accomplished
   the desired goal regardless of what GTMetrix says. As you probably know, you 
   cannot do anything about short expirations on external sites like googletagmanager,
   etc.
