Expired Headers clarification needed

Hi Kramarz, first of all you can ask every kind of question. Don’t worry about it…

I tested your site and here’s the result url: https://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.irishrecycledproducts.ie/i5a0oVJB

Add Expires headers %0
Make fewer HTTP requests %0
Use a Content Delivery Network (CDN) %0
Minify JavaScript and CSS %80

I couldn’t see a warning as you said.

Hi Emre, click on the YSlow tab in the report you linked ??

You’ll notice in first line:

‘Add Expires headers’ – grade F(0)
‘There are 58 static components without a far-future expiration date.’

Also, I tried this plugin on one of the other websites, and seems it wasn’t able to handle minifying css the right way, the links to images in it were like:

../../../images/logo.png instead of just ../images/logo.png

You may want to look at that.

aa yes yes ?? you are right. I will fix and inform you

Hi There,

great plugin

Did you found the solution? I have similar problem, suspect that has to do something with MIME types?

You can fix it the code below if you have cPanel or Plest Panel. If you don’t have cPanel or Plest Panel mod_expires.c does not work.

<IfModule mod_expires.c>
# Enable expirations
ExpiresActive On
# Default directive
ExpiresDefault “access plus 1 month”
# My favicon
ExpiresByType image/x-icon “access plus 1 year”
# Images
ExpiresByType image/gif “access plus 1 month”
ExpiresByType image/png “access plus 1 month”
ExpiresByType image/jpg “access plus 1 month”
ExpiresByType image/jpeg “access plus 1 month”
# CSS
ExpiresByType text/css “access 1 month”
# Javascript
ExpiresByType application/javascript “access plus 1 year”
</IfModule>

Do we need trough htaccess to change mode expires.so with this one you provided?

Thanks for fast response
Dragomir

yes yes. You can convert mode expires.so to mode expires.co

Yes,

I was advised to do that from hostgator where I’ve hosting site. Anyway nothing dramatic changed after replacing code. Tried to delete cache as well but yslow is still 0 for add expires headers…

can you write me your url please?

christianmoney dot com

you use hostgator too ?? actually hostgator handles it. but I will work on it and inform you.

OK

Thanks and again great support! Just keep on good work

St.Dragomir, I have written to your wrong ?? I am so sorry. Not “mode expires.co”. The true one is “mode expires.c”

Should be like that;

<FilesMatch “\.(ico|pdf|flv|jpg|jpeg|png|gif|js|css|swf|x-html|css|xml|js|woff|ttf|svg|eot)(\.gz)?$”>
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresDefault “access plus 1 month”
ExpiresByType image/x-icon “access plus 1 year”
ExpiresByType image/gif “access plus 1 month”
ExpiresByType image/png “access plus 1 month”
ExpiresByType image/jpg “access plus 1 month”
ExpiresByType image/jpeg “access plus 1 month”
ExpiresByType text/css “access 1 month”
ExpiresByType application/javascript “access plus 1 year”
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
Header set Expires “max-age=2592000, public”
Header unset ETag
</IfModule>
FileETag None
</FilesMatch>

Thanks, I have seen that mispel and changed it straight away.
Any way still expires headers are 0 points. I am testing various approaches in .htaccess (Maybe something with mime…) and if I find what is wrong here I will let you know.

Thanks again!
Dragomir

Hi,

No progress by my side. Did you find out what is the issue with expires headers?
