Browser Caching in MODX 2.3.1

Hi

If I upload images into the Gallery Add-on or into the 'assets' folder via TinyMCE, I'm finding that browser caching isn't configured by default. Is this something to be configured within System Settings or does this required an Add-on for this functionality?

I've been using Google PageSpeed Insights to test.

Hello Phillip,

Can you please confirm what version of Gallery you have installed? It looks like the current release (http://modx.com/extras/package/gallery) has the fix you need.

Hi

I'm using Gallery version 1.7.0-pl on MODX version 2.3.2, hosted on MODX Cloud. I'm using the phpthumbof add-on with the [[+image_absolute]] placeholder in Gallery which give's me an image src similar to below:



If I run page speed insights on the page that is generated, PageSpeed Insights highlights that all images from Gallery, or uploaded directly into the file system and shows something similar to the following:

/…63.8b02d6c2a07886071f2c93cb5e434b924.jpg (expiration not specified)

I've tried using the [[+image_thumbnail]] placeholder too which outputs something like that shown below, but is also flagged by PageSpeed Insights.



Are there any configuration options within System Settings, or via another package that will allow the configuration of caching on these images?

Regards

Phillip

You can set local browser cache rules in htaccess:

Can you try using pThumb instead of phpThumbOf? I would recommend enabling pThumb's cache and Resizer support (both in system settings). If I recall correctly phpThumbOf has been sunset (no longer supported) at this point in time.
