Hi @jennysmith, the error “expiration not specified” relates to support for caching of the network requests. Without specifying an expiration date, clients are unable to determine how long they should cache the response for hence seeing this warning.

If you don’t care about being able to cache your responses then you can probably leave it, it not you need to look into adding these headers, you can find more info about this here: Add Expires headers | GTmetrix.

Hope it helps :slightly_smiling_face:
