* Your settings seem fine to me. Could you share the contents of your `.htaccess`
file so I can check if there’s something in there that needs to be changed?

* 3s? that indeed is probably the notorious WP Super Cache entry in .htaccess playing
up 🙂

* I think it might work if you remove the SPEED SECTION. PageSpeed module might
be conflicting in this case.

and report back!

* Very surprising. After removing the Speed section, the number of browser cache
issues (my previous post) went from 20 down to 3. And our Google PageSpeed score
went from 94/88 up to 94/92 (mobile/desktop).
* Clearly we need to review our code. Thank you for spotting that!
