Is my .htaccess code wrong?

Cache checking sites like Google PageSpeed keep showing my files cached for only 2 hours. Is there something wrong with my htaccess file? Order of the rules? Thanks

-All other rules in the file work. (Well I did have some code to turn off ETags which didn't seem to work either)

-I'm using CloudFlare but support tells me there is nothing in cloudflare affecting the cache times.

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm

ErrorDocument 404 /404.php
ErrorDocument 410 /410.php

I then have several RewriteCond's

Solution

  • There was a mod_expires override setup for the vhost in the apache config file.
