   Hi,

   I just installed W3 total cache and configured it after a guide I found. I must say the results are great: I currently get a 85 score from Yslow (previously had 75 or so), but apparently there are still thigns that need to be optimized.

   I get a "Grade F on Add Expires headers" from the Yslow Chrome extension, although I set up the Browser Cache Settings correctly (at least I think I did..). Here is a screenshot of the rowser Cache Settings I am currently using: http://i55.tinypic.com/16bd9jm.jpg

   Am I doing something wrong?

   Thank you,
   Tudor

   You should be getting a better grade for expires headers. I get grade A from Yslow in Firefox. Are you using a CDN? If so, have you uploaded everything? FWIW, I now have all 5 browser cache policies checked for all sections. I'm currently trying the settings suggested here.

   I also get a pretty good score on Yslow (86 points - grade B). No, I do not use CDN, because I don't want to invest money in that at this stage..

   What I meant was, I'm getting grade A for expires headers using W3TC, as well as for the entire page. You can use the self-hosted CDN option without spending money.

   If you click on the expires headers tab of Yslow, you'll see that all the items listed are facebook components:

   Grade F on Add Expires headers

   There are 12 static components without a far-future expiration date.

   I don't know any way to apply expires headers to those components, which is why I don't use them on my site.

   You cannot because those are 3rd party.

    Just signup for a CDN with Rackspace Cloud Files... will cost you less than $5/mo. for a moderately visited blog/site. Plus W3tc has easy integration with it... see this video for help: http://youtu.be/JXUBU_WoF_8
