When visiting a website, the website content will be cached in your web browser. This cache can be controlled by configuring your Cache-Control HTTP headers for your website. This is done by adding mod_expires in the .htaccess file of your server. I heard about this but I don't know where & how to enable it? Is there a limited time to tell your browser clear your cache? if so, how long should I put in my htaccess file?

Hi,
don't know if you find it but here is two ways
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresByType image/jpg "access plus 1 year"
ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 1 year"
ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 1 year"
ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 1 year"
ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType application/pdf "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType text/x-javascript "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access plus 1 year"
ExpiresDefault "access plus 2 days"
and
<ifmodule mod_expires.c>
<Filesmatch "\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|js|css|swf|ico|woff|mp3)$">
ExpiresActive on
ExpiresDefault "access plus 2 days"
</Filesmatch>
</ifmodule>

For time not sure, maybe short for txt and longer for multimedia
try to google for time and more details

Cool GswHosting, I added to my site but I could not know how to check if it is enabled.

and there is another way to do these tasks without adding codes on httacess file. I mean I want to do it on my hosting control panel.
