Unfortunatly the plugin does not have an option for this, and I don’t know how to enable this for analytics.js 🙁 * Plugin Author [Daan van den Bergh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/daanvandenbergh/) * (@daanvandenbergh) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/leverage-browser-caching-warning/#post-11522194) * An expire header is set on server level. There’s nothing I can do about it. Try tweaking your server’s settings. Perhaps the analytics.js is too small (Nginx has a setting which only adds headers to files larger than a certain size) or is saved in a directory excluded by your Apache or Nginx configuration. * [hatschiii](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hatschiii/) * (@hatschiii) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/leverage-browser-caching-warning/#post-11522295) * Normal expire header are set in .htaccess, not on server level * Plugin Author [Daan van den Bergh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/daanvandenbergh/) * (@daanvandenbergh) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/leverage-browser-caching-warning/#post-11522311) * Okay, it’s a matter of semantics, I guess. 🙂 * .htaccess is an Apache configuration file. I’d call that server level. But I guess, since it’s located in the web root, you could call it something else. 😉 * Anyway, it’s something that I shouldn’t attempt to influence with this plugin. Because I feel it’s beyond the scope of this plugin. * Thread Starter [komitaltrade](https://wordpress.org/support/users/komitaltrade/) * (@komitaltrade) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/leverage-browser-caching-warning/#post-11522715) * > An expire header is set on server level.

I wanted to avoid manual editing, but I will probably do it now, as there is also issue of ice and with FB pixel (if I activate it). Thanks. * Plugin Author [Daan van den Bergh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/daanvandenbergh/) * (@daanvandenbergh) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/leverage-browser-caching-warning/#post-11522726) * [@komitaltrade](https://wordpress.org/support/users/komitaltrade/), * There are ways to edit .htaccess through PHP (from within a plugin). Many plugins do it, WP Fastest Cache is an example, W3TC does it too. From these plugins it’s expected, because it adds to the User Experience. But like I said, it’s far beyond the scope of this plugin. * Another way to put it: I think many people will be negatively surprised once they see that CAOS (a plugin which downloads/updates your analytics.js and nothing else, basically) also edits the Apache/Nginx configuration. * Plugin Author [Daan van den Bergh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/daanvandenbergh/) * (@daanvandenbergh) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/leverage-browser-caching-warning/#post-11522742) * Although I’m not sure if I could edit Ngunx configuration from within PHP, since Nginx configuration is usually not located within the web root. Unlike Apache. * Thread Starter [komitaltrade](https://wordpress.org/support/users/komitaltrade/) * (@komitaltrade) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/leverage-browser-caching-warning/#post-11523153) * 1) Leverage is solved by (you can use other expiration time) * # BEGIN Expires Headers ExpiresActive On ExpiresDefault“ access plus 7 days” # END Expires Headers * 2) Yes you can edit Nginx configuration (Google “leverage nginx”). * Thread Starter [komitaltrade](https://wordpress.org/support/users/komitaltrade/) * (@komitaltrade) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/leverage-browser-caching-warning/#post-11523156) * BTW – Is it particular reason to not use minified version of analytics.js (as it is already striped locally)? * Plugin Author [Daan van den Bergh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/daanvandenbergh/) * (@daanvandenbergh) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/leverage-browser-caching-warning/#post-11523439) * Thanks for your help, [@komitaltrade](https://wordpress.org/support/users/komitaltrade/) * I’m pretty sure I’m using the minified version. I’m using the same one Google uses in their snippet.
