 * Hi there, I would like to ask how to solves the site health issue in my WordPress
   site with “W3 Total Cache” plugin.
 * Screenshoot of the error message:
    [Site health issues](https://www.dropbox.com/s/iw52qb3owctbyky/Fivetry%20-%20site%20health%20issues.png?dl=0)
 * [Wordpress Site health issues]
    Page cache enhances the speed and performance
   of your site by saving and serving static pages instead of calling for a page
   every time a user visits.
 * Page cache is detected by looking for an active page cache plugin as well as 
   making three requests to the homepage and looking for one or more of the following
   HTTP client caching response headers:
 * cache-control, expires, age, last-modified, etag, x-cache-enabled, x-cache-disabled,
   x-srcache-store-status, x-srcache-fetch-status.`
 * ! – Median server response time was 1,367 milliseconds. It should be less than
   the recommended 600 milliseconds threshold.
 * ! – No client caching response headers were detected.

 * Hello [@krislai](https://wordpress.org/support/users/krislai/)
 * Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to assist you with this.
    I’ve checked
   your website and I can confirm that the home page does not have the expiration
   set or cache control, or Etag `cache-control: no-cache, must-revalidate, max-
   age=0` This is handled by the Browser Cache in W3 Total Cache. So you should 
   make sure that the Browser Cache is enabled in the General settings and make 
   sure that the Etag, Cache-control and expires header is enabled in the Performance
   >Browser Cache, under the HTML&XML section. Also, I can see that you have some
   security headers, so please make sure that you are not using any other plugin
   to set the mentioned rules and make sure you do not have any custom rules in 
   your .htaccess file.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi [@vmarko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vmarko/),
 * Thank you for your reply! I turned on the settings that you’re mention but still
   getting the errors and for the security header, I did paste the following code
   into my htaccess file.
 * `Header always set Strict-Transport-Security: “max-age=31536000” env=HTTPS
    Header
   always set Content-Security-Policy “upgrade-insecure-requests” Header always 
   set X-XSS-Protection “0” Header always set X-Content-Type-Options “nosniff” Header
   always set Referrer-Policy “strict-origin-when-cross-origin” Header always set
   X-Frame-Options: “SAMEORIGIN” Header always set Permissions-Policy: “”

 * Hello [@krislai](https://wordpress.org/support/users/krislai/)
 * Thank you for your feedback.
    These are also available in the W3TC Performance
   >Browser Cache>Advanced, so you shouldn’t have added those rules manually, you
   can use the W3TC options instead. If the settings are correct and reflected in
   the .htaccess file, and as I can see those are not added when checking the website,
   It means that yo either has some conflicting rules in your .htaccess or some 
   rules in the upper level of the website structure that is overruling the .htacces
   in the root folder of the website. Please check this with your hosting provider.
 * Thanks!
