I have the following code in my .htaccess file to leverage browser caching (and gzip), however when I run tools such as Google Page speed or Gtmetrix I still am getting the error tha my website is not using leverage browser caching. Link to my website

.htaccess code:

 <FilesMatch "\.(ico|jpg|jpeg|png|gif|js|css|swf|pdf|flv|mp3)$">
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
 ExpiresActive on
 ExpiresDefault "access plus 14 days"
 Header set Cache-Control "public"

  # My favicon
ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access plus 1 year”

# Images
ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType image/jpg "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 1 month"

# CSS
ExpiresByType text/css "access 1 month”

# Javascript
ExpiresByType application/javascript "access plus 1 year"

</IfModule>
</FilesMatch>
<FilesMatch "\.(html|htm|xml|txt|xsl)$">
 Header set Cache-Control "max-age=7200, must-revalidate"
</FilesMatch>



<IfModule mod_mime.c>

I too had the same problem, this worked for me......,

    Not sure if this will help you or not, but I got it and added it to my .htaccess file.

Worked like a charm.

BEGIN Expire headers

<ifModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 seconds"
ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access plus 2592000 seconds"
ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 2592000 seconds"
ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 2592000 seconds"
ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 2592000 seconds"
ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash "access plus 2592000 seconds"
ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 604800 seconds"
ExpiresByType text/javascript "access plus 216000 seconds"
ExpiresByType application/javascript "access plus 216000 seconds"
ExpiresByType application/x-javascript "access plus 216000 seconds"
ExpiresByType text/html "access plus 600 seconds"
ExpiresByType application/xhtml+xml "access plus 600 seconds"
</ifModule>

END Expire headers
BEGIN Cache-Control Headers

<ifModule mod_headers.c>
<filesMatch ".(ico|jpe?g|png|gif|swf)$">
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=2592000, public"
</filesMatch>
<filesMatch ".(css)$">
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=604800, public"
</filesMatch>
<filesMatch ".(js)$">
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=216000, private"
</filesMatch>
<filesMatch ".(x?html?|php)$">
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=600, private, must-revalidate"
</filesMatch>
</ifModule>

END Cache-Control Headers
BEGIN Compress text files

<ifModule mod_deflate.c>
<filesMatch ".(css|js|x?html?|php)$">
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
</filesMatch>
</ifModule>

END Compress text files
