Hi, I added both cache-control-header and expire-header to /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/* on the console (there was no server block in the main conf file). Still, both Pagespeed and GTMetrix say that browser caching is not leveraged. It is making my site considerably slower, please help!
These are the codes I used:
location ~* \.(js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|svg|ico)$ {
expires 30d;
add_header Cache-Control "public, no-transform";
}
location ~* .(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|svg)$ { expires 365d; }
location ~* \.(pdf|css|html|js|swf)$ {
expires 2d;
}

Hello,
I would recommend first testing this manually with curl rather than using an online tool as sometimes they tend to be unreliable:
curl -I http://yourdomain/test.jpg
You should see something like this:

If you do not see the headers, I would recommend following the steps here from this step by step guide:
