I just added some caching with mod_expires like so:
ExpiresActive On ExpiresDefault A29030400 ExpiresByType text/html A86400 ExpiresByType text/css A86400
My question is this. Is everything going to be cached for 12 months with exception of html and css (24 hours)? Or do I have to specify expire by type on each seperate line for types like img, png, pdf etc. and add time intervals?
# these are pretty far-future expires headers # they assume you control versioning with cachebusting query params like # <script src="application.js?20100608"> # additionally, consider that outdated proxies may miscache # www.stevesouders.com/blog/2008/08/23/revving-filenames-dont-use-querystring/
# if you don't use filenames to version, lower the css and js to something like # "access plus 1 week" or so
<IfModule mod_expires.c> ExpiresActive on
# Perhaps better to whitelist expires rules? Perhaps. ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 month"
