Caching of static assets?!

Web Performance Discuss Test Results

Hi,

this is the result of a test:

[quote]Leverage browser caching of static assets: 0/100
FAILED - (No max-age or expires) - http://www.domain.com/css.css
FAILED - (No max-age or expires) - http://www.domain.com/p/logo.png
FAILED - (No max-age or expires) - http://www.domain.com/favicon.ico[/quote]

What does this mean? I SHOULD use caching or not?

But how can i use caching ONLY for images/css?!?

It’s an event page with hourly updates (but the logo etc. will not change).

So it should make sense to use:

But how can i exclude the images/css from that?!

Thanks!

Static assets are mostly:
CSS, JS, Images, Fonts, Music

And yes you should use caching, this way it loads the resource stored on your visitors computer for each extra visit they make.

A simple google search will send you in the right direction.
