Posted in: #Cache

I started using code.google.com/p/minify/ on my site to decrease the amount of http requests. But google's PageSpeed insights tool is telling me that the new reference link isn't being cached. A example of one of the new links that Minify created is this one:

<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="/min/f=css/responsee.css,css/components.css,css/animate.css,owl-carousel/owl.theme.css,owl-carousel/owl.carousel.css" />

My htaccess file has caching setup just fine and before I combined the .css files everything was being cached according to Pagespeed. Is this a bug or do I have to add a new line to my htaccess file?

You can see from the response headers (after the edit): "304 Not Modified" - this indicates that the resource is being cached by the browser after all (which is also probably why there is no Content-Type header in this particular response).

However, this resource is "only" being cached for 30 minutes, which might be why the PageSpeed tool is complaining?

The Cache-Control: max-age=1800 header is telling the browser to cache this response for 30 minutes (and this matches the Expires header when compared with the timestamp of the request).

I would assume the Cache-Control headers are being set by the Minify script - which will override mod_expires (which will only set the header if it doesn't already exist).
