.woff issues

[ljubacanoa]

Hello,

From the GTmetrix test, it appears that the .woff (and .woff2) file type is not specified in the cache policy, although I have the following in the .htaccess fragment:

## LITESPEED WP CACHE PLUGIN - Do not edit the contents of this block! ##

To note, the font is served locally with:

@font-face {
font-family: 'Montserrat-Regular';
src: url('https://yoururl/fonts/Montserrat-Regular.woff2') format('woff2');
url('https://yoururl/fonts/Montserrat-Regular.woff') format('woff');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
@font-face {
font-family: 'Montserrat-Bold';
src: url('https://yoururl/fonts/Montserrat-Bold.woff2') format('woff2');
url('https://yoururl/fonts/Montserrat-Bold.woff') format('woff');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
@font-face {
font-family: 'Montserrat-Italic';
src: url('https://yoururl/fonts/Montserrat-Italic.woff2') format('woff2');
src: url('https://yoururl/fonts/Montserrat-Italic.woff') format('woff');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}

How to fix it?

For openlitespeed, the browser cache is controlled by the server, please go to openlitespeed web console > Server Configuration > General > Expires Settings and add type from there.

Thanks. It is not same for LS Enterprise?

 

[Cold-Egg]

For LS Enterprise version, you can apply ExpiresByType on the .htaccess file.

 

[ljubacanoa]

Sorry, but is there any explanation for that, because LS Enterprise also has the same settings in its console, so I'm confused by the answer that says not to use the settings in the console, but directly to the .htaccess file?

P.S. - I'm just curious.

 

[Cold-Egg]

Sure, because OpenLiteSpeed supports only rewrite rules in .htaccess file, whereas, LSWS supports all rules.

See editions: https://www.litespeedtech.com/products/litespeed-web-server/editions

 

[ljubacanoa]

I'm sorry that my question was obviously not clearly worded. I know that LS Enterprise supports all rules in the .htaccess file.

My question was:

- Why should it be added in the .htaccess file, when LS Enterprise has an expiration field in its web console (just like OpenLiteSpeed has such an identical field)?

Finally, if I understand correctly, OpenLiteSpeed supports expiration rules only by entering them through the web console, while LS Enterprise supports them through the .htaccess file, but also through the web console. Did I understand correctly?

 

[Cold-Egg]

For LSWS, the expiration value in the .htaccess file has higher permission than the web console. The expiration field in the web console will be applied if there's no expiration value in the .htaccess. Hope it's clear now.

Thanks. PERFECTLY clear.
