WP Far Future Expiration Plugin – Easily Add Far Future Expiration to Your Static Files Posted: 06 Jul 2013 07:16 PM PDT This plugin will allow you to easily add a “far future expiration” date for various static file types on your WordPress powered site to improve page load time (site speed). Adding far future expiry header to your static resources (images, js, css) can improve the site speed. If you are using a caching plugin like W3 Total Cache then that plugin can do this for you too. However, I don’t use a caching plugin on all my sites (caching plugins are really good but for some sites/projects they add more hassle than its worth). This little plugin comes in handy in situations like that. How The Plugin WorksThis plugin will modify your .htaccess file by inserting code which will add expires headers for common static file types (this will tell the browser to cache those files). Expires header specifies a time far enough in the future so that browsers won’t try to re-fetch images, CSS, javascript etc files that haven’t changed (this reduces the number of HTTP requests) and hence the performance improvement on subsequent page views.
