Hi,
I have added some Apache directives in my .htaccess, like this:
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresByType text/css M604800
ExpiresByType application/x-javascript M604800
ExpiresByType application/javascript M604800
ExpiresByType image/bmp M604800
ExpiresByType image/gif M604800
ExpiresByType image/x-icon M604800
ExpiresByType image/jpeg M604800
ExpiresByType image/png M604800
</IfModule>

But it seems that they are not taken into account. When I go test my site on tools.pingdom.com it keeps telling me that I should improve the browser caching...

Thanks!
Nicolas.

Hello Nicolas,

Thank you for your question. Yes, mod_expires is installed on our servers by default, it just needs to be added to your .htaccess correctly.

Here is a link to a guide I found via google search, that covers "adding mod_expires to your .htaccess.

If you have any further questions, feel free to post them below.
Thank you,

-John-Paul
