This article shows 2 awesome ways to implement caching on your website using Apache .htaccess (httpd.conf) files on the Apache Web Server. Both methods are extremely simple to set up and will dramatically speed up your site
Apache .htaccess caching code
| Code: |
# 1 YEAR
<FilesMatch "\.(ico|pdf|flv)$">
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=29030400, public"
</FilesMatch>
# 1 WEEK
<FilesMatch "\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|swf)$">
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=604800, public"
</FilesMatch>
# 2 DAYS
<FilesMatch "\.(xml|txt|css|js)$">
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=172800, proxy-revalidate"
</FilesMatch>
# 1 MIN
<FilesMatch "\.(html|htm|php)$">
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=60, private, proxy-revalidate"
</FilesMatch>
|
For fail-safe code implement this to the above
| Code: |
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
# any Expires Directives go here
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
# any Header directives go here
</IfModule>
|
At least one of the 2 modules needs to be built into Apache; although they are included in the distribution, they are not turned on by default. To find out if the modules are enabled in your server, find the httpd binary and run httpd -l; this should print a list of the available modules. The modules we’re looking for are mod_expires and mod_headers.

edit:
Win32 Build has this modules by default, you only need to enable it.
This was a short version of http://www.askapache.com/htaccess/speed-up-sites-with-htaccess-caching.html
Have some fun! |

| Will this work for Apache configured as a reverse proxy where all traffic is encrypted via SSL from the backend to the reverse proxy and again to the client? |

| I haven't tested it with SSL reverse proxy. But I think it should. The encryption has nothing to do with with the age control. You may have a try. |
