Setting the Cache-Control for file assets

Squiz Matrix Support

I was looking at our file assets the other day, and I realized that Matrix isn't sending a max-age or expires header for our files. I assume this isn't something that Apache does automatically.

 

Are there some recommended settings for this?  And do we just turn on mod_expires?

Can you use .htaccess?

I would prefer to just put it in our VirtualHosts file.

 

I know how to do it, just wondered if there was recommended settings.

Not sure, if the Squiz admins have some recommended settings, but Google does: https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/best-practices/caching
