 * Hello everybody,
 * Trying to make a website faster I have added the following code to .htaccess
 * <IfModule mod_expires.c>
    # Enable expirations ExpiresActive On # Default directive
   ExpiresDefault “access plus 1 month” # My favicon ExpiresByType image/x-icon “
   access plus 1 year” # Images ExpiresByType image/gif “access plus 1 month” ExpiresByType
   image/png “access plus 1 month” ExpiresByType image/jpg “access plus 1 month”
   ExpiresByType image/jpeg “access plus 1 month” # CSS ExpiresByType text/css “
   access plus 1 month” # Javascript ExpiresByType application/javascript “access
   plus 1 year” </IfModule>
 * Now, testing my site on GTMetrix….Yslow still gives an ‘F’ for the expires headers.
 * Pagespeed ‘leverage browsing cache’ has a ‘B’ after adding this code (came from
   an ‘F’ aswell)
 * Is there anyone who can explain this?
 * Thanks so much for help & respons
