Title: Browser static caching broken? Last modified: January 7, 2021 --- # Browser static caching broken? * Resolved [Astrix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/astrix/) * (@astrix) * [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/browser-static-caching-broken/) * Hello, * I’m using php 7.4 64 bits, latest wp version, latest wp optimize version. * In the Browser static file caching settings, I don’t see any way to change the time for caching. It justs reads this: “Browser static file caching headers are currently enabled.” with a green check mark. * See : [https://imgur.com/a/pBlG41O](https://imgur.com/a/pBlG41O) * Also Google page speed test says caching is only 15 minutes for js, css, and images. And there is no cache set for woff2. * Do you know how to manually set the delay in the plugin and where is the code stored? In which htaccess file is it stored? There is nothing cache related in my main .htaccess file! * Also, in wpo-cache folder, I only have this in the .htaccess file: * # Disable directory browsing Options -Indexes * # Disable access to any files Order allow,deny Deny from all * Also, it would be good if we could deactivate this feature so we can insert our own code in htaccess file. * Thank you - This topic was modified 5 years, 4 months ago by [Astrix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/astrix/). - This topic was modified 5 years, 4 months ago by [Astrix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/astrix/). - This topic was modified 5 years, 4 months ago by [Astrix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/astrix/). - This topic was modified 5 years, 4 months ago by [Astrix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/astrix/). - This topic was modified 5 years, 4 months ago by [Astrix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/astrix/). - This topic was modified 5 years, 4 months ago by [Astrix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/astrix/).

Also, check this video: [https://youtu.be/gYEDOhKY1QE?t=534](https://youtu.be/gYEDOhKY1QE?t=534) @8min55 you can see he can’t modify the delay. * I also tried on a fresh wordpress install, same issue I don’t have minify activated I tried other brower cache plugin and they managed to add entries to my .htaccess file * Thank you - This reply was modified 5 years, 4 months ago by [Astrix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/astrix/). - This reply was modified 5 years, 4 months ago by [Astrix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/astrix/). * [Harshad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bornforphp/) * (@bornforphp) * [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/browser-static-caching-broken/#post-13889625) * [@astrix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/astrix/) Can you please try to keep only default WordPress .htaccess rules in .htaccess file and check if you see the Expiration option in Static file headers tab? * Thread Starter [Astrix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/astrix/) * (@astrix) * [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/browser-static-caching-broken/#post-13896794) * Hello [@bornforphp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bornforphp/), I can confirm that this issue is still there even on a fresh and clean WordPress 5.6 install with no other plugin than WP Optimize. * Gzip entries are properly added in the main .htaccess file by WP-Optimize, but nothing related to browser cache and no delay option in wpo browser cache tab( tried deactivating, reactivating wpo with no luck): * # BEGIN WP-Optimize Gzip compression # Compress HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Text, XML and fonts AddType application/ vnd.ms-fontobject .eot AddType font/ttf .ttf AddType font/otf .otf AddType font/ x-woff .woff AddType image/svg+xml .svg * AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/javascript AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/rss+xml AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/vnd.ms- fontobject AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font-opentype AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/ x-font-otf AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font-truetype AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font-ttf AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font- woff AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xhtml+xml AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xml AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE font/opentype AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE font/otf AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE font/ttf AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE font/woff AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE image/svg+xml AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE image/x-icon AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/javascript AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/plain AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/xml * # Remove browser bugs (only needed for really old browsers) BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/ 4 gzip-only-text/html BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.0[678] no-gzip BrowserMatch \bMSIE! no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html Header append Vary User-Agent # END WP-Optimize Gzip compression * In the .htaccess located in the wpo-cache folder, this is the content: * # Disable directory browsing Options -Indexes * # Disable access to any files Order allow,deny Deny from all - This reply was modified 5 years, 4 months ago by [Astrix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/astrix/).
