    Hey,

    the app shows “Your server is not using expires header for your images.”
    However, this information is not correct because the information is in my .htaccess.

    The error persists even though I deleted the analysis data and transists.

    Copy of .htacess:

    <IfModule mod_expires.c>

    How did this erroneous evaluation come about?

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    Can you please share your website URL so that we can check the issue further for you?

    Meanwhile, please head over to your WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Status & Tools > Database Tools > and click the Clear SEO Analysis and Remove Transients buttons to flush the SEO Analysis cache.

    Flush

    Once done, clear your website and any server-level caching on your site before doing the SEO analysis again.

    Let us know how it goes. Looking forward to helping you.

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    I followed the instructions but I still get Rank Math saying “Your server is not using expires header for your images.”

    You can reach the website at https://attatroll.de.

    Hello,

    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.
