W3TC 4 Hour "short freshness lifetime"

  • Despite all the googling , trying everything I can find, and tweaking every single setting within w3tc, some files insist on having a 4 hour cache expiration. I have looked at my .htaccess file and the expiration dates are well above 4 hours.

    When I run gtmetrix against my site, I get this:

    4 hours is 14,400 seconds, and I don’t have that number anywhere. This is driving me bonkers… hopefully someone else has encountered this same problem

  • Perhaps worth trying to edit your .htaccess with something like:

    https://varvy.com/pagespeed/leverage-browser-caching.html

    ## EXPIRES CACHING ##
<IfModule mod_expires.c>

ExpiresByType image/jpg "access 1 year"
