Does it cache images stored in a subdomain

Hello Emre,

Once again thanks for this lovely plugin. Just got a question. I thought of creating a sub-domain (e.g images.example.com) and store a few images there, especially the larger ones. I will place those image files manually there. This is just to help the browser do parallel downloading.

Will WPFC still cache those images?

yes. I mean to say .. I have created a sub domain and uploaded an image there. you can see the image here http://imgs.iconicwebteam.com/office-employees2.png ..

As you can see, the image has been uploaded on a subdomain created on the main domain iconicwebteam.com..

Will it still cache my files if I continue to upload images (png jpg) or maybe static css/js files there?

oh! BTW, just let you know, not sure whether it makes sense here or not..

The root document of this sub domain (imgs.iconicwebteam.com) is not public_html/imgs.. It’s outside public_html.. any difference here.??

not exactly.. let me be elaborate then. I created a sub domain imgs.iconicwebteam.com (you can see two files there visiting this URL)..

Usually, the path to sub domains created via cPanel are – /public_html/sub-domain-name.. .

However, in my case it’s /iconic-imgs

if you call image with “http” or “http”, it works well but if you call “../../” like that, it does not work.

oops!! may I get the reason for this? is it because it’s a video file or is it anything to do with the sub domain?

(sorry to take a lot of time off you today)

static files are not cached because they are static and there is no need to cache 🙂

oh!! I must have understood this earlier.. Sorry for this.. So, just to enable browser cache, I understand, we need to work around on .htaccess file in the sub domain directory something like
```
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresByType video/mp4 "access 1 month"
ExpiresByType video/webm "access 1 month"
</IfModule>
```
Am I write here? Is it needed as well?

If you enable gzip or browsercache, there is no need to enable for sub-domains
