Hello,
I’m sorry to hear that you are facing an issue with your server not using expires headers for your images. This can impact your site’s performance and SEO. To fix this, you need to add expires headers to your image assets.
Rank Math highlights the importance of using expires headers to improve user experience and site performance. If you fail the test for expires headers on your images, you will need to add them manually. It’s not too complicated, and you can follow this helpful guide here that explains how to do it.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
Our tests look for the first image on the page and see if it has the expires headers in the HTTP response which the first image on your page doesn’t have.
We’ve checked your site and found that your server is using a newer implementation called cache-control but our system cannot detect those and as such it fails this test. That won’t have any negative impact on SEO, and you can simply ignore the error on the SEO Analysis report.
In simple words, you have the Expires Headers for your images, but with a different implementation which Rank Math can’t detect yet and you can avoid the error on your SEO analysis.
Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
Thank you.
Thank you for your answer. I’ll ignore it.
