 * Good afternoon, I need help activating the browser caching, because I activate
   the time for a year and as soon as I click activate they are still disabled.

 * Hi [@victorcarmo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/victorcarmo/)
 * I hope you’re well today!
 * A “browser caching” is all about setting specific HTTP headers and that’s done
   by a webserver. Hummingbird only helps you control that, that is
 * – if server configuration supports that
    – if server configuration allows configuring
   that (sometimes it’s just “set in stone” and not allowed to be changed by the
   host) – and if nothing overrides it
 * As for that last point, an example would be e.g. a hybrid webserver configuration
   where Apache handles your site (and that’s what Hummingbird would interact with)
   but there’s also nginx webserver in front of it. Another example could be having
   CloudFlare or similar CDN in front of the site (and not connected to Hummingbird).
 * That said, let me know please (please consult with your host if needed) if
 * 1) it’s Apache webserver or Nginx or both on host?
    2) if host allows expiry 
   headers custom configration? 3) if there’s any CDN (and if so, what is it) involved?
 * Also, would you mind sharing a link to the homepage of your site so we could 
   look at HTTP response headers in browser?
 * Best regards,
    Adam

 * Hello [@victorcarmo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/victorcarmo/) ,
 * We haven’t heard from you for a while now, so it looks like you don’t have more
   questions for us.
 * Feel free to re-open this ticket if needed.
 * Kind regards
