Hi All,

I have a huge JS file (300k compressed) so I’m trying to get the browser to cache it so that return visits and interior page loads will be much faster.  Here is the code I am using in my htaccess file:

<FilesMatch “\.(ico|jpg|jpeg|png|gif|js|css|swf)$”>
ExpiresDefault “access plus 2 hours”
</FilesMatch>

<FilesMatch “(sitewidemin)$”>
ExpiresDefault “access plus 2 hours”
</FilesMatch>

The first one works fine for normal images and what not, but doesn’t cache the js or css files since the URL for them doesnt include .js

Here is the line where I am loading it into the HTML:

What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks!

Take a look at using ExpiresByType. Greg Aker has a nice overview of his .htaccess file, but you can also look at the HTML5 Boilerplate .htaccess file.

.htaccess questions are better served in the CodeShare Corner forum. Moving for additional community support.

I tried using that and the js files are still returning a 200OK status and reloading each time… I also turned off ExpressionEngine > Output and Debugging > Generate HTTP Page Headers thinking maybe that was overriding what I was doing… Still no luck
