* I have enabled the browser cache setting.
* However I notice that the generated minified files that are served by `/min/generatedfile.
css` are not sending cache control header.
* I have also noticed that html is not gzipped.
* Can you help me?
* Thanks

* Hello,
* First of all i do not see litespeed cache to hit. Please check plugin settings
and server settings.

* I was digging in the documentation and just discoverede that openlitespeed does
not support htaccess.
* Is this correct?
* If so, I should add all the htaccess content on rewrite section of admin panel?

* Mmm…I’ve solved the htaccess problem by adding
* `rewriteFile /usr/local/lsws/prestitiinpdap.it/html/.htaccess`
* in rewrite section. Now `X-LiteSpeed-Cache: hit` is correctly sent.
* The question now is:
* Should I add `Header set Cache-Control "max-age=31536000, public"` to my files?
Or is it suppesed to be handled by litespeed cache?

* Further informations: if you go on [https://www.prestitiinpdap.it/mutui-inpdap/](https://www.prestitiinpdap.it/mutui-inpdap/)
you see that image have `cache-control` but it’s not hit by litespeed cache.
* However css and js doesn’t have any expires header.

* Seems a bug on openlitespeed. I’d like to have help on this. I can create a user
and give access to check if it’s my misunderstanding of server settings or a
serious bug.

* Hi, [@tropicalista](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tropicalista/)
* Thank you for all of the updates and details you’ve sent so far.

> Or is it suppesed to be handled by litespeed cache?
* Once you enable Browser Cache (at the bottom of **LiteSpeed Cache > Settings
> Cache**), the headers will be taken care of for you. You don’t need to do anything
else.
* > Further informations: if you go on [https://www.prestitiinpdap.it/mutui-inpdap/](https://www.prestitiinpdap.it/mutui-inpdap/)

* I visited the link and I _do_ see `x-litespeed-cache:hit`. If you don’t, it’s
possible you are logged in and you have **Cache Logged-In Users** set to `OFF`.
Try viewing your page from an incognito window and see if it behaves the way
you would like it to behave.
* Let us know if things are still not right from the incognito window, and what,
specifically, is still not working.

* I just noticed you’re getting some help [in our main forum](https://www.litespeedtech.com/support/forum/threads/setting-expires-cache-control-headers-seems-buggy.15964/),
so I’ll go ahead and close this post to avoid duplicate effort.
