How to Add Expires headers

Question

I'm using this code in .htaccess

<IfModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive on
ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType image/jpg "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType text/html "access plus 3 days"
ExpiresByType text/xml "access plus 1 seconds"
ExpiresByType text/plain "access plus 1 seconds"
ExpiresByType application/xml "access plus 1 seconds"
ExpiresByType application/rss+xml "access plus 1 seconds"
ExpiresByType application/json "access plus 1 seconds"
ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 1 week"
ExpiresByType text/javascript "access plus 1 week"
ExpiresByType application/javascript "access plus 1 week"
ExpiresByType application/x-javascript "access plus 1 week"
ExpiresByType image/x-ico "access plus 1 year"
ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access plus 1 year"
ExpiresByType application/pdf "access plus 1 month"
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
   Header unset ETag
   Header unset Pragma
   Header unset Last-Modified
   Header append Cache-Control "public, no-transform, must-revalidate"
   Header set Last-modified "Tue, 1 Aug 2016 10:10:10 GMT"
 </IfModule>
 </IfModule>

But gtmetrix.com and tools.pingdom.com shows 5 static components without a far-future expiration date.

How to add expire headers for these 5 components?!

Solution

I believe you can't add expire headers to those 5 components, simply because they aren't on your own server, and therefore you have no control over them.

If you're looking for a great expire headers plugin, I recommend Far Future Expiry Header.

Hello @Merkucio, I am facing the same issue. Did you find a solution for this? I am already using the WP Super Cache plugin.
