    Hello,

    I need your help on this. GTmetrix is telling me that There are 44 static components without a far-future expiration date. Here is the link
    But I use SG Optimizer and it seems that many of the components there are set to far-future expiration date. How come these 44 are not covered? Is there a way to improve that? Thanks you very much.

    @hristo-sg

    Below are the SG Optimiser expiration dates in .htaccess

    # HTTPS forced by SG-Optimizer
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

    Your site is in a folder as an addon. As such all rules in your public_html folder affect it including these:

    <IfModule mod_headers.c>
        Header set Cache-Control "no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate"
        Header set Pragma "no-cache"
        Header set Expires 0
    </IfModule>

    Remove them unless you have speciffic reasons to use them and your issue will be solved.

    Thank you very much, @hristo-sg!
    I deleted the rules above and the static components went down to 10 which are mainly third parties (Google and Facebook). Despite all this, Add Expired Headers under YSlow is still F(0). And the loading speed haven’t improved a bit. Any idea why?

    Also the First Byte Time on Webpagetest.org fropped from A to D.

    Appreciate your help,

    Best wishes,
    Cezarina

    Because you have too many external scripts used. By the way I would just ignore YSlow completely. It doesn’t really matter if your site is loading as fast as it is.

    Thanks, Hristo!

    @hristo-sg

    How about the First Byte Time? Is there anything I can do to improve that?

    Yes, don’t test your site hosted in our Netherlands DC from Australia ??

    https://www.webpagetest.org/result/200421_3W_0864f72f5354bb59692e9c4eab1805e0/

    For me, TTFB for your site is 62ms

    Thread Starter cezarina

    (@cezarina)

    I know Europe is not an issue, but I also target clients in Australia ??
    What if they’re not patient enough?
    I tried Cloudflare as CDN and the outcome was not great. So I decided to deactivate it.

    Thank you very much for your help, Hristo! (@hristo-sg)
    If you see anything that I can do to improve the FBT please share it with me

    I would try Google CDN for example ??

    I’ll have a look into it!

    Thank you very much for your help Hristo!
