Add this to your instructions?

    Hey guys, glad to see Quick Cache is getting full support again. I tried it years ago but made the switch to W3TC when QC was no longer supported. But W3TC has always been a mess and the upgrades were unpredictable. One thing I’d love to see added to your instructions are the expiration settings. You mention it but I needed the actual statements to paste into htaccess, as you provided to enable GZip. Found it here: https://thomasgriffin.io/how-to-leverage-browser-caching-in-wordpress-via-htaccess/. Made a nice improvement in my Pingdom results but I would like to know if you would change any of the settings.

    Btw: Great price on the Pro version. Will test this a couple weeks and then do the upgrade. Thanks!

    We have a feature request open to specifically add a section regarding Leveraging Browser Caching.

    In the meantime, this is what we recommend adding to the .htaccess file:

    # Browser Caching
FileETag MTime Size

<IfModule expires_module>
    ExpiresActive on
    ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 week"
</IfModule>

    That sets a default expiration date. If you want to get specific and set an expiration date for specific file types (as outlined in the link you provided), you’re more than welcome to do that. ??

    Thanks for the reply. I tried it both ways and found interesting results at Pingdom.

    With the statements from the thomasgriffin.io link Pingdom rated my home page Performance Grade 93/100, Load Time 1.14s, and faster than 87% of tested sites.

    With your statements Pingdom’s results were lower, Performance Grade 88/100, Load Time 2.15s, and faster than 68% of tested sites.

    Returned to the original statements and it returned to 93/100. I’m sure you can explain it better than me but I’m assuming it has to do with longer expiration times.

    Thanks again for supporting Quick Cache!
