Hello Tim
I have added the following lines to the .htaccess file
## EXPIRES CACHING ##
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresByType image/jpg "access 1 year "
ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access 1 year "
ExpiresByType image/gif "access 1 year "
ExpiresByType image/png "access 1 year "
ExpiresByType text/css "access 1 month"
ExpiresByType application/pdf "access 1 year "
ExpiresByType text/x-javascript "access 1 month"
ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access 1 year"
ExpiresDefault "access 2 days"
</IfModule>
## EXPIRES CACHING ##
this stores images, css, etc. on the user's browser's cache for the duration specified above per the type of file cached.
Thanks a bunch.
Kevin
