How do we manage expires and cache-control headers (and ETags)?

We are a developer/reseller using a VPS account with WHM and cPanel. How do we control/manage the Expires headers, Cache-Control headers and ETag headers on the sites we develop?

Answer #1

Hello,

From my understanding of the subject, you should be able to manage them through an htaccess file.

The following few links may be helpful…

http://www.askapache.com/htaccess/apache-speed-expires.html
http://www.askapache.com/htaccess/apache-speed-cache-control.html
http://www.askapache.com/htaccess/apache-speed-etags.html

From my initial testing, the instruction on those pages appear to be accurate. Please let us know if that is what you are looking for and if they work for you.

Happy Hosting!
