Expire Header shows as August 2005 in Joomla 3.6.2,. Will it impact site negatively

Post by mch79 » Wed Sep 28, 2016 3:28 am

Hello,

I have recently updated from Joomla 2.5 to 3.6.2
All is well, however there seems one strange issue

However - while submitting url index to google - i observed that in headers it shows a concern about expires date pertaining to august 2005 (See attached Picture of Crawl)

I checked all previous url in joomla 2.5 - there it was no expires date mentioned
Searched google and found that joomla.org even has this expires header

I do not know if its a bug pertaining to joomla itself
But i dont want any negative impact on site related to site ranking,

> Why is expire header set for 2005
> Can someone suggest and help pls with details if this expire header pertaining to 2005 can impact site in any way
> If a bug - you feel a impact - is there a suggestion on how to remove this expires header

that the date joomla was created. it's not a bug
See https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/bl ... b.php#L426

if you have that expires date because your probably using page cache

IMHO a browser cache HTTP header expires date in the past will not affect SEO.
