Hello

Google Insights tells me to "Leverage browser caching" for "https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js".

How can I do it? It is google's script on google's server

Thanks

You answered your own question.

Nothing.

That's not actually true.  There are some efforts out there where users are implementing local copies of analytics.  I don't believe all of them are supported, but there are some workarounds.  See https://www.keycdn.com/blog/leverage-browser-caching/

Much easier to just postload it, which decreased my page load time by .2 seconds: https://github.com/danielstjules/defer-analytics 

Setting up a cron job to update a local script for a 1% increase in score is hardly worth it, IMO.
