mod_pagespeed css not updating

[Troy Glancy]

I have been all over the internet trying to figure out how to make this work. When mod_pagespeed is working and I make a change to css it does not update unless I turn it off or clear the cache.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I cannot figure out what. I have this in my pagespeed config.

ModPagespeedForceCaching on

# These caching headers are set up for the mod_pagespeed example, and

# also serve as a demonstration of good values to set for the entire

# site, if it is to be optimized by mod_pagespeed.

<Directory /var/www/mod_pagespeed_example>

  # To enable to show that mod_pagespeed to rewrites web pages, we must

  # turn off Etags for HTML files and eliminate caching altogether.

  # mod_pagespeed should rewrite HTML files each time they are served.

  # The first time mod_pagespeed sees an HTML file, it may not optimize

  # it fully.  It will optimize better after the second view.  Caching

  # defeats this behavior.

  <FilesMatch "\.(html|htm|css)$">

    Header unset Etag

    Header set Cache-control "max-age=0, no-cache"

  </FilesMatch>

  # Images, styles, and JavaScript are all cache-extended for

  # a year by rewriting URLs to include a content hash.  mod_pagespeed

  # can only do this if the resources are cacheable in the first place.

  # The origin caching policy, set here to 10 minutes, dictates how

  # frequently mod_pagespeed must re-read the content files and recompute

  # the content-hash.  As long as the content doesn't actually change,

  # the content-hash will remain the same, and the resources stored

  # in browser caches will stay relevant.

  <FilesMatch "\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|js)$">

    Header unset Etag

    Header set Cache-control "public, max-age=600"

  </FilesMatch>

</Directory>

This is in my httpd.conf

<IfModule mod_expires.c> 

    ExpiresActive On 

    ExpiresByType text/html "access plus 1 seconds"

    ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 60 seconds"

    ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 2 weeks"

    ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 2 weeks"

    ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access plus 2 weeks" 

    ExpiresByType text/javascript "access plus 2 days"

    ExpiresByType image/ico "access plus 2 weeks"

    ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 2 weeks" 

    ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 2 weeks" 

    ExpiresByType application/javascript "access plus 2 days"

</IfModule> 

What am I doing wrong? Why is my CSS not updating every 10 mins like it's suppose too?

Can you send a link to your site?

We should update our cached version of your CSS as often as the Cache-Control: max-age. I want to check what the actual Cache-Control headers set for your CSS resources are.

Also note: ModPagespeedLoadFromFile which will update files immediately.

Thanks

Not sure if  ModPagespeedLoadFromFile would work for me. I have a VPS that I host clients websites on. I don't want to have to edit their stuff manually each time.

I took out the mod_expire out of httpd.conf and it seems to be changing but my score is lower because I don't have anything set for expiring headers.

Take that back...maybe it's not updating. 

[Shawn Ligocki]

Hm, all of your CSS seem to have no Cache-Control headers, so they should be updated every 5 min. Which CSS file/files are you specifically not seeing updated?

-Shawn

[Troy Glancy]

I think you're right. How can I make it 10 mins or should 5 mins be good?

Oh, don't use this option! This is for testing only.

[Shawn Ligocki]

Can you tell me which CSS file you are not seeing updated? Or is this fixed now?
