I’m trying to optimize the loading time of a website. One of the things I’ve done is set a far-futures expires header for static content so that they are cached (as described by Yahoo). However, even though they are cached, the browser still sends a request and gets back a 304 (Not Modified) response for that resource.
I realize the 304 response is very small and probably has minimal performance effect, but is there a way to make it such that the browser will no longer send the request at all and just always use the cache for that resource?
