    Hi there,

    Thank you for this plugin. On a standard WordPress set up on Amazon Lightsail, and can’t get browser caching to work . I’ve enabled it in the settings, but GTMetrix says my site isn’t leveraging browser caching at all.

    Could it be a permission problem or perhaps I need some additional modules enabled on the server?

    Thank you in advance for your help. I spent so much time over the past two days trying to figure it out, and it must be something fairly simple on my server that needs to be changed.

    is the web-server Apache or Nginx?

    Thanks for your prompt response. I just figured it out. Amazon Lightsail/bitnami wordpress setup disables the .htaccess file by dfault and uses htaccess.conf instead…so I enabled access to the .htaccess file by adding AllowOverride All in my virtual host record, and GTMetrix is now showing browser caching enabled.

    it means that your server uses Nginx server so WPFC cannot solve “browser caching” warning. You need to contact your hosting provider.
