So my apologies for the noob-ness on this question, but i am new to Apache servers...
As we all know, page loading speed is key these days... and with every browser there seems to be some sort of "page speed" tool included to help you conform to their standards as to how best improve page loading speed...
example, PageSpeed for Chrome, and YSlow for FireFox... Not sure if IE has anything...
Anyway, i was looking at a post by @jdMorgan and am wondering something...
Just because I use the Cache-Control: "max-age:#*$!xx" header in my .htaccess file, both of these tools still say that I am not using the proper header method, which they say should be the "Expires" header...
I see that @jdMorgan noted that it is a maintenance nightmare, and I totally believe and see that...
But using the max-age header, I am still creating the same effect as "Expires" header right?
I am still properly caching the contents of my site, I just dont happen to use the specific method that these browsers require...
I just want to make sure that the effect is still there, regardless of the method I am choosing to use.
thx
