Google PageSpeed recommends that I “leverage browser caching” for my CSS by “setting a maximum age in the HTTP headers.” How does one do this with Jekyll?
The good news is there are a bunch of options and resources available to you since what you want to do isn’t specific to Jekyll.
Depending on the server type you’re using to host your site this will vary, but if you’re using Apache you can set caching headers via a .htaccess file.
HTML5 Boilerplate has a really good one that is heavily commented that walks through all kinds of good things you’ll want to enable for improved performance (gzip compression, etc.) and security.

Thanks! Now I’m trying to figure out how to do this without .htaccess since I’m using nginx.
They also have server configs for nginx
# Expire rules for static content
# No default expire rule. This config mirrors that of apache as outlined in the
# html5-boilerplate .htaccess file. However, nginx applies rules by location,
# the apache rules are defined by type. A consequence of this difference is that
# if you use no file extension in the url and serve html, with apache you get an
# expire time of 0s, with nginx you'd get an expire header of one month in the
# future (if the default expire rule is 1 month). Therefore, do not use a
# default expire rule with nginx unless your site is completely static
# cache.appcache, your document html and data
location ~* \.(?:manifest|appcache|html?|xml|json)$ {
add_header Cache-Control "max-age=0";
}
# Feed
location ~* \.(?:rss|atom)$ {
add_header Cache-Control "max-age=3600";
}

There are more than three files. show original
Hi - I’m trying to resolve the same issue you were working on - did you ever figure it out? I see this github that you posted - is it just a matter of copying these files over to the root directory of my jekyll blog? Thank you in advance!
Do I just paste these files in the root of my jekyll blog?
