Have been reading flask docs in python and building a local website.

Just performed a speed test on my website deployed on openshift with this tool here:-

The analysis report says that my site is not caching static resources. After googling this for all my worth I gather that:-
- It has something to do with headers.
- Cache copies are kept in the client machine and also servers between the client and website.
My Question
- Am I to include expire and tags in the html section? Or in the HTTP header section?
- If in the HTTP header section how do I do this?
If I have missed something in the docs please let me know.

I have seen the mentioned question. The problem there is that the cache is set to a very big default value. My problem is that the tests show that my website does not cache static elements.That answers my basic requirement of completing the task. I would also like to know if the tags are added in the HTTP or HTML doc headers. Thus the new question fo ra consolodated future resource.

HTTP headers. The Response headers.

Right then. But why is the content not cached for long? I have further checked at tools.pingdom.com/fpt
