Title: Leverage browser caching Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Leverage browser caching * [mark8888](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mark8888/) * (@mark8888) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/leverage-browser-caching-18/) * Hi, * I get this message on google speed test. It was ok before but somehow now it appears again. What you need to change? * Leverage browser caching Setting an expiry date or a maximum age in the HTTP headers for static resources instructs the browser to load previously downloaded resources from local disk rather than over the network. * Thank you Mark * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-super-cache/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-super-cache/) Viewing 3 replies - 1 through 3 (of 3 total) * [Tanzi001](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tanzi001/) * (@tanzi001) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/leverage-browser-caching-18/#post-5918551) * Me too * [TinPianoMan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tinpianoman/) * (@tinpianoman) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/leverage-browser-caching-18/#post-5918568) * You could do what I do – use another plugin called WP Performance Booster. This lets you add the browser caching to your .htaccess. (You can also use it to set GZip compression and Vary: Accept-Encoding Header). Ideally you want to move things around so Leverage Browser Caching is the first thing in your .htaccess. Something like this: * # BEGIN WP Performance Score Booster Settings * ## BEGIN Expires Caching (Leverage Browser Caching) ## ExpiresActive On ExpiresByType image/jpg “access 2 week” ExpiresByType image/ jpeg “access 2 week” ExpiresByType image/gif “access 2 week” ExpiresByType image/ png “access 2 week” ExpiresByType text/css “access 2 week” ExpiresByType application/ pdf “access 2 week” ExpiresByType text/x-javascript “access 2 week” ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash “access 2 week” ExpiresByType image/x-icon “access 2 week” ExpiresDefault “access 2 week” ## END Expires Caching (Leverage Browser Caching) ## * # END WP Performance Score Booster Settings * Then after this you have the section line starting with the line # BEGIN WPSuperCache * [Tanzi001](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tanzi001/) * (@tanzi001) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/leverage-browser-caching-18/#post-5918615) * thanks!
