    When I ran pagespeed insights and browser cache checker, I found that allot of my stuff got permanently moved and looks like they are no longer being cached.Not sure what happened here, I am using the this plugin to cache and not on wordpress.com so I am not hard coding anything myself.
    I would be great full for any help.

    Thanks

    Hi @myflickpov,

    Regarding the message “Moved Permanently”, that message sounds far more daunting than it really is. It’s a standard signal used on the web to tell browsers / visitors to your site that its real location is different to the one they loaded.

    In your case, your site’s home address starts with “https://”, not “http://”. The difference is that https is more secure and often faster, so that is the better choice. Anyone who visits your site using the “http://” address will receive a “301; Moved Permanently” signal, redirecting their browser to the correct address. This shouldn’t be a problem, and is normal behavior for a secure site.

    If you use the “https://” version of your site address when running a PageSpeed report or a Caching Checker test, it won’t tell you that it was Moved Permanently.

    I’ve checked both your PageSpeed Insights report, and your Browser Caching Checker results. I am happy to report that neither indicate that WP Super Cache is not working, however I understand the confusion.

    PageSpeed Insights recommends “Serve static assets with an efficient cache policy”, and Browser Caching Checker has a heading with a lot of files under it labelled “Non-Cached Files”.

    Both of these tests / results are referring to a specific kind of caching, called “Browser Caching”. When loading a webpage, the server can tell the browser how long to keep each resource for. For example, images don’t change very often on most sites, so many servers tell the browser to keep a copy of downloaded images for a long time so that future visits to the same page can skip downloading that image.

    These warnings on PageSpeed Insights and Browser Caching Checker are both complaining that some of the images and scripts served by your site don’t have information with them about how long the Browser should cache them.

    WP Super Cache is a server-side cache; it saves the results of WordPress pageloads on the server, so that multiple visitors reaching your site will load the site faster. It doesn’t tell the Browser how long to hang onto images and other static resources.
