 * Hi,
 * I am getting an “F” (the worst score on Leverage Browser Caching) on GoDaady’s
   performance check after installing the plugin.
 * Any ideas why?

 * Did you try checking performance scores under [GTMetrix](https://gtmetrix.com/)?
 * Please share your site URL to look further.

 * It looks like GoDaddy is using GTMetrix in the background as the results seem
   to be the same..
 * Shared the website address through your website’s contact form..
 * Thank you

 * Thanks for sharing your site URL. Could you paste the contents of your _.htaccess_
   file located under your WordPress root?

 * It appears your _.htaccess_ file isn’t writable as I don’t see any rules added
   by this plugin.
 * Change the permissions of _.htaccess_ file to make it writable, then deactivate
   the plugin and reactivate. Now recheck the contents of _.htaccess_ and make sure
   you can see the rules added by this plugin in _.htaccess_.
 * Check the performance scores again and ‘Leverage Browser Caching’ should be improved.

 * OK will try that thanks but how come other plugins can write to .htaccess file
   and this one can not? (not trying to blame just trying to understand).. I installed
   wordfence the other day and it wrote on to .htaccess file fine..
