Loading slider twice after controlling cache
I have the following code in my file .htaccess
to manage cache on my joomla site.
########## Begin - ETag Optimization
## This rule will create an ETag for files based only on the modification
## timestamp and their size.
## Note: It may cause problems on your server and you may need to remove it

ExpiresByType application/vnd.wap.wbxml "now plus 1 month"
the cache control started working, but I ran into a problem.
Now my slider loads twice before showing up. after the image is loaded, it loads again (just like updating), but the other content is loading correctly.
Please help me.
I am using the Dj-ImageSlider extension for joomla. the slider doesn't slide anything, it just shows one image as a banner.

ETags
difficult because they take precedence for caching in most browsers. You can change all the headers you want, but if the ETag
associated file is always the same, caching will never work as you expect. In most situations, you should turn off headers ETag
.
So, to disable ETag
you can use the following:
Header unset ETag
and remove this:

It is not easy to fix the problem remotely, but a few ideas you could try.
Make sure you start from scratch by clearing your browser cache and your Joomla cache first, and repeat this step after any changes below.
If the issue persists, try going to Extensions> Module Manager> DJ-ImageSlider> Advanced and change your caching setting.
If there is still no joy, perhaps play with the cache settings under System> Global Configuration> Cache Settings.
Good luck!
