 * Hmmm … don’t know where my previous post by this title went. I had asked why 
   Pingdom and Firebug tests say browser caching should be enabled in my site when
   I saved the browser cache setting in Quick Cache to _true_ (which is not recommended?).
 * Anyway, I set it back to _false_ and found a [fantastic site with the .htaccess settings](http://www.samaxes.com/2011/05/improving-web-performance-with-apache-and-htaccess/)
   I needed to take care of the issue, so I’m sharing. My Pingdom performance score
   for “Leverage Browser Caching” went from zero to **84** and their result statement“
   Your website is faster than 48% of all tested websites” went to **58%**. Very
   cool, and it appears even quicker. Here’s the code (note: I replaced the site’s
   deflate statements with another set that I preferred from previous use, although
   its supposed to give the same result):
 *     ```
       # BEGIN Compress text files
       <IfModule mod_deflate.c>
        AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/xml text/css text/plain
        AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE image/svg+xml application/xhtml+xml application/xml
        AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/rdf+xml application/rss+xml application/atom+xml
        AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/javascript application/javascript application/x-javascript
        AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font-ttf application/x-font-otf
        AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE font/truetype font/opentype
       </IfModule>
       # END Compress text files 
   
       # 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 604800 seconds"
         ExpiresByType application/javascript "access plus 604800 seconds"
         ExpiresByType application/x-javascript "access plus 604800 seconds"
         ExpiresByType text/html "access plus 600 seconds"
         ExpiresByType application/xhtml+xml "access plus 600 seconds"
       </ifModule>
       # END Expire headers 
   
       # BEGIN Cache-Control Headers
       <ifModule mod_headers.c>
         <filesMatch "\.(ico|jpe?g|png|gif|swf)$">
           Header set Cache-Control "public"
         </filesMatch>
         <filesMatch "\.(css)$">
           Header set Cache-Control "public"
         </filesMatch>
         <filesMatch "\.(js)$">
           Header set Cache-Control "private"
         </filesMatch>
         <filesMatch "\.(x?html?|php)$">
           Header set Cache-Control "private, must-revalidate"
         </filesMatch>
       </ifModule>
       # END Cache-Control Headers 
   
       # BEGIN Turn ETags Off
       FileETag None
       # END Turn ETags Off
       ```
   
 * BTW: I had previously had an issue with very long initial page loads in Chrome,
   both on my Win7 and XP machines. After applying the code above, it seems to be
   fixed. Cleared caches several times in testing but still couldn’t recreate the
   long delays.
