Enable Expire header in Nginx
Answer:
Enabling Expire header for static contents is useful to reduce the loading of your web server.
If you are using nginx, it is easy by adding the following lines in your nginx.conf
location ~* \.(ico|css|js|gif|jpe?g|png)$ {
expires max;
}
So all files with the above extensions will be delivered with the maximum expire header.
If you want user to update the cached contents, make sure you have change the path (i.e. rename) of these resources.
