Hi, all ExpiresByType default values (css, js, font files) are not the same as Google Guidelines. They are 30 days, can this be extended by default, or editable maybe?

Hi @markhhg,

The ExpiresByType values are based on the famous HTML5 Boilerplate: https://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate/blob/master/dist/.htaccess

Also, I don’t see any guidelines on Google’s web.dev website: https://www.google.com/search?q=ExpiresByType+site%3Aweb.dev

However, you can rest assured that the values SBP has aren’t at all against Google’s guidelines.

Ah, gotcha: When you test a page for the first time, it’ll show the recommendation for your images because, well, it’s your first test and Lighthouse’s emulated browser haven’t cached those assets yet. When you test for the second time (which is the proper practice), you won’t see the images on that list because they’re cached.

Sorry – no change on the 2nd or the 3rd run 🙁

@markhhg that’s strange, I tested your homepage twice and it showed no recommendations for browser caching in the second run.

When you change the .htaccess values manually (like setting 12 months instead of 1 month for images), how does Lighthouse react to the changes?
