Apache Expires Headers with mod_expires

Quick example of how to set default expires headers. This will help prevent browsers from re-downloading the same images more than once and therefore reduce the load on your image server.

Put this in your .htaccess file:

<IfModule mod_expires.c>
	ExpiresActive on
	ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 1 years"
	ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 1 years"
	ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 1 years" 
	ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 1 years"
	ExpiresByType text/js "access plus 1 years"
	ExpiresByType text/javascript "access plus 1 years"
	ExpiresByType application/javascript "access plus 1 years"
	ExpiresByType application/x-javascript "access plus 1 years" 
	#ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 days"
</IfModule>
