    Hey,

    so I’ve browsed the forum, but haven’t found the solution.

    I’m going through the list of recommendations in GTmetrix, and I can’t seem to find a solution to the “expires headers” one.

    It keeps telling me that “There are 13 static components without a far-future expiration date.” and I get F0 with this position.

    I’m not great at it, but it seems some of them are fonts.

    How do I take care of that?

    my site is:

    thank you!

    Hello @karolinafotyga

    Thank you for your inquiry and I am happy to assist you with this.
    I’ve checked the Gtmetrix report and found the following:

    There are 13 static components without a far-future expiration date.

    As you can see these are all external resources and that being said, W3 Total Cache or any other plugin for that matter cannot handle those files because they are coming from the external server.
    The potential solution is to host those files on your server.

    Thank you!

    Thank you for your reply.

    What does it actually mean – ‘to host them on my server”? It’s google analytics, facebook pixel, heat map – how do I do that?:(

    Hello @karolinafotyga

    this is not a recommended solution because if you cache those resources you have to make sure that the script is getting updated if needed. 95% of the websites have those external resources and they are never cached.
    There are some plugins that can help you with this (I\ve never used one) and there are a couple of articles for Google analytics and fonts that can help you with this.
    Thank you!
