Caching files in browser or proxy rather than requesting every time reduces the network traffic between the server, the client.
Usually not everyone has control over their own server configuration file, but sometimes they do have .htaccess file accessibility. You can do efficient caching using the Apache .htaccess file.You need to configure few lines of commands in the .htaccess file instructing the server to handle the caching of different types of files.
Recently I came across an issue of listing the directory struture and files in the web browser of a web site.The website was hosted on an Apache web server.After Googling Google and reading the Apache HTTP Server documentation I could revolve the issue by doing few things related to the .htaccess file.
.htaccess (hypertext access) is a a directory-level configuration file in several web servers.This is most common in Apache Web Server. .htaccess file allows for decentralized management of web server configuration.
The directives in the .htaccess file apply to the current directory, and to all sub-directories. .htaccess files are read on [...]
One of the common and popular way to redirect your visitors is to use an .htaccess redirect. Before a page is served to the browser the server checks first for an .htaccess file and the visitors will be redirected to the new page.301 redirect is the most efficient method for webpage redirection.Also this method is a Search Engine Friendly method for web page redirection.
If you do not have custom files for handling error conditions and error codes like 404 ,500 and 401 etc ,the user experience would not be great. No one prefer to see the “404 Not Found” on their browser.The website developer should handle these scenarios.
You can do this by specifying the custom error document in your server web server configuration files.
