Image Expires Tag - how can I alter this? [Basic user with no understanding query]

[Richard Jackson]

Hi there,

I recently ran an SEO check on my site which is telling me (amongst other things) that I'm not using expires headers for my images. The explanation advises that to resolve this I some lines to the .htaccess file, specifically:

<IfModule mod_expires.c>
    ExpiresActive on
 
    ExpiresByType image/jpg "access plus 1 month"
    ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 1 month"
    ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 1 month"
    ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 1 month"
</IfModule>

What should I be doing to make use of these tags? I haven't come across the .htaccess file in Django/Mezzanine so am not sure of how I can make such an alteration.

Any advice/feedback/best practice suggestions would be greatly appreciated as this isn't an area I'm in any way familiar with.

Thanks!

Rich

Hi Richard,

If you are using the Fabric script to deploy your site behind an nginx
web server, the default configuration includes thirty-day expires
headers at https://github.com/stephenmcd/mezzanine/blob/master/mezzanine/project_template/deploy/nginx.conf.template#L41.
