    Hi,

    I am having an issue with “Leverage Browser Caching” when I test my website. Browser cache is enabled in the W3 Cache settings, but my score is consistently F 30/100.

    Any ideas? Thanks so much.

    Hi Don-

    I ran a scan on the URL you sent over privately, and here’s what I see:
    GTMetrix Report of Browser Caching

    It looks like it’s giving you a lower score because the CSS and media files are mostly set to expire after only 1 day. By default, W3 Total Cache sets these files to expire after 1 year.

    You can check this setting in Performance > Browser Caching:

    Performance Browser Caching setting for the media expires after value

    It’s also possible that your CDN (CloudFlare) is replacing these values from their settings in W3 Total Cache. Here’s some more information about setting the expires headers from CloudFlare.

    Thanks so much, it was Cloudflare overriding W3 Cache.
