Are you sure that your site's Apache configuration includes mod_headers.c and mod_expires.c? Apache directives flow "downhill" so the root directives would apply to the /bmz_cache, too.

If you do include that .htaccess in the /bmz_cache directory, the only file-types that will be present there (and valid for download) are .jpg, .jpeg, .png and .gif.

So did you ever figure this out ?

https://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.mis...d.com/RJRPTzLs

Is my scoreing

shows me as having the same issue with Specifying a cache validator but i for the life of me can't figure out where to change that ? Do i need to add something to the .htaccess file in root ?

[targetmarts]

Ok,i fixed it:
make the htaccess file to
root/
images/
includes/
includes/..
etc

Header unset Pragma
FileETag None
Header unset ETag
<IfModule pagespeed_module>
ModPagespeed on
# using commands,filters etc
</IfModule>


<FilesMatch "(?i).*\.(js|css|html?|ico|jpe?g|gif|webp|png|swf|flv|xml|xsl|otf|ttf|woff|eot|svg|map)$">

    Require all granted

Just to clarify, you're saying you copied that same .htacess into all those folders, correct?

By looking at your report, I also noticed you don't get the warning about using a cookie-free domain for images, yet it seems you use the same domain for your images.

How did you fix that? I get this warning, but did not think there was an easy fix apart from moving all the images to a subdomain...

Anyone?

These are the ones I don't seem to be able to fix:

The following resources are missing a cache validator. Resources that do not specify a cache validator cannot be refreshed efficiently. Specify a Last-Modified or ETag header to enable cache validation for the following resources:
https://tabletennisshop.com.au/inclu...ages/logo3.jpg
https://tabletennisshop.com.au/inclu...-ttsa-logo.png
https://tabletennisshop.com.au/inclu...es/stars_4.png
https://www.googletagmanager.com/gta...=UA-24411702-1

I've tried putting the same .htaccess in that folder, but it won't go away.

There are 41 components that are not cookie-free
https://tabletennisshop.com.au/inclu...imagehover.css
https://tabletennisshop.com.au/inclu...stylesheet.css
https://tabletennisshop.com.au/inclu...sheet_flex.css
https://tabletennisshop.com.au/inclu...n_colorbox.css
https://tabletennisshop.com.au/inclu..._imagehover.js
https://tabletennisshop.com.au/inclu...responsive.css
https://tabletennisshop.com.au/inclu...ve_default.css
https://tabletennisshop.com.au/inclu...er_selector.js
https://tabletennisshop.com.au/inclu..._to_top.min.js
https://tabletennisshop.com.au/inclu...ages/logo3.jpg
https://tabletennisshop.com.au/inclu...-ttsa-logo.png
https://tabletennisshop.com.au/inclu...limmenu.min.js
https://tabletennisshop.com.au/image...niwa_blade.jpg

I know this can be fixed by hosting the images in another domain. However I've seen several people with shops on this forum, who don't get this warning, yet when I check the location of their images, it's hosted on the same domain as the shop. So how did they fix it? Is there something you can out in the .htaccess that stops the cookies from being sent?

These are the ones I don't seem to be able to fix:

I've tried putting the same .htaccess in that folder, but it won't go away.

Add these lines to the .htaccess file which is inside the /includes/ directory:

## EXPIRES CACHING##
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresByType image/jpg "access plus 1 year"
ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 1 year"
ExpiresByType application/javascript "access plus 1 year"
ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 1 year"
ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 1 year"
ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType application/pdf "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType text/x-javascript "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access plus 1 year"
ExpiresDefault "access plus 2 days"
</IfModule>
## EXPIRES CACHING##

and it will solve your problem of the css / js files expiry.

By the way, my site's Apache configuration includes mod_headers.c and mod_expires.c
but still I was needed to make the above.
