  • The following cacheable resources have a short freshness lifetime. Specify an expiration at least one week in the future for the following resources:

    Add the following to your .htaccess file (host/server support required):

    <IfModule mod_expires.c>
    ExpiresActive on
    ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 60 days"
    ExpiresByType text/javascript "access plus 60 days"
    ExpiresByType image/ico "access plus 60 days"
    ExpiresByType image/jpg "access plus 60 days"
    ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 60 days"
    ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 60 days"
    ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 60 days"
    ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 60 days"
    ExpiresByType text/html "access plus 60 days"
</IfModule>

    The 60 days can be changed to a lower #

    Ref: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_expires.html

    I use WP Super Cache and set garbage collection to a high # also.

    My Score = A (92)@ same

    You may also consider a simple, basic, & static home page with less images and no players.

    The following images are resized in HTML or CSS. Serving scaled images could save 185.4KiB (50% reduction).

    Use a tool such as GIMP to optimize your uploaded images and make sure they are the exact size that will be presented in the browser so they do not have to be re-sized in the browser. A Web inspection tool, available in Chrome, Firefox and IE9, can help.

    Yes! That worked! And my site definitely feels faster. Thank you so much.

    About the whole imaging thing, I think that is just something I am going to have to live with. Don’t really want to change the layout of my site at the moment.

    You do not have to change the layout, try to optimize (make smaller in file size not dimensions) the images.

    However, if you feel this is resolved, please mark this as resolved as that will help others more.

    Just pinging to see if the issue is resolved?

    I think you have to set up proper w3 total cache plugin – Go.

    For Image Optimize use – https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-smushit/

    Now, see Result.

    @mitul005, do you have any questions?
