 * hi guys i was looking into improving my blog speed and i get
    Leverage browser
   caching 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. i tried many plugins and also adding
   the code to htaccess but it seems i got no results [http://techneti.com/](http://techneti.com/)

 * Try adding this to your `.htaccess` file above your #BEGIN WORDPRESS #END WORDPRESS
   rules:
 *     ```
       # BEGIN Expire headers
       <ifModule mod_expires.c>
           ExpiresActive On
           ExpiresDefault "access plus 5 seconds"
           ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access plus 2592000 seconds"
           ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 2592000 seconds"
           ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 2592000 seconds"
           ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 2592000 seconds"
           ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash "access plus 2592000 seconds"
           ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 604800 seconds"
           ExpiresByType text/javascript "access plus 648000 seconds"
           ExpiresByType application/javascript "access plus 648000 seconds"
           ExpiresByType application/x-javascript "access plus 648000 seconds"
           ExpiresByType text/html "access plus 600 seconds"
           ExpiresByType application/xhtml+xml "access plus 600 seconds"
       </ifModule>
       # END Expire headers
       ```

 * Also, there seems to be an issue with your minify:

 * hi thanks for your response
    i actually deactivated w3c total cache and got better
   score and i also added the code but the problem is still showing [https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftechneti.com&tab=desktop](https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftechneti.com&tab=desktop)

 * No problem. It seems that there are just a small number of files (7) that are
   now not caching. You could try adding this to address those 2 x .jpg files:
 *     ```
       ExpiresByType image/jpg "access plus 2592000 seconds"
       ```
   
 * Not too sure why the others are not caching, although the google analytics js
   file is external so you can discount that, and they really shouldn’t make a noticeable
   deal of difference to your site load.
 * Regarding the caching plugin, have you tried:
    [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-super-cache/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-super-cache/)[*
   EDITED* Quick Cache link removed as plugin no longer maintained]
 * It is a solid caching plugins, straightforward to set up and should help your
   site load.

    but the problem that made me
   put this post still exists
