    Despite having all of the settings in place and by default, with GTMETRIX the page speed results say EXPIRES HEADERS score is F (0) ZERO
    “There are 10 static components without a far-future expiration date.”
    How do I fix this please? Thank you

    Hello @kwestfehling

    I am sorry about the issue you are experiencing and I am happy to assist you with this.
    I’ve tested your website on Gtmetrix and I can see what you are referring to.
    unfortunately, there are some things that W3 Total Cache as powerful as it is or any other plugin cannot handle and those are external resources. Those resources ( Google, Facebook, Linkedin, youtube, etc.) are being loaded on your website but they are coming from the server other than yours. This means that W3 Total Cache cannot affect those files because W3TC is only dealing with the files coming from your server (Theme, Plugins files, etc.) This however does not impact the user experience on your website but testing tools are showing this as a general rule that those assets do not have expiration or need to be deferred like JS or CSS.
    The only solution for this is to host those files on your server which sometimes can prove to be more work than gain.
    Thank you!

    Ok thank you. I guess I need to remove Facebook and Youtube feeds from the home page.What a pity.
