How do I implement browser caching in WordPress?

Implementing browser caching requires modifying your .htaccess file or using a caching plugin. Here’s the recommended approach:

  • Install W3 Total Cache plugin
  • Enable browser caching in the plugin settings
  • Set expiration times for different file types

Alternatively, add these directives to your .htaccess file:

ExpiresByType image/jpg “access plus 1 year”
ExpiresByType image/jpeg “access plus 1 year”
ExpiresByType image/gif “access plus 1 year”
ExpiresByType image/png “access plus 1 year”
