Apache configuration so images are cached for a long time

I'm asking here since no matter what I try I keep noticing images keep being reloaded after a while. Basically I want images to be cached for 11 months, but if anything they seem to be cached for minutes or hours. This is a node.js application with static files served by apache. The images are inside the public/static dir. This is what I have: NameVirtualHost *:443 ServerName app.site.com ProxyPreserveHost On RequestHeader set "X-Forwarded-Proto" expr=%{REQUEST_SCHEME} RequestHeader set "X-Forwarded-SSL" expr=%{HTTPS} Alias "/static/" "/home/node/app/public/static/" Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Require all granted ExpiresActive On ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 11 months" ExpiresByType image/jpg "access plus 11 months" ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 11 months" ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 11 months" RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP:Upgrade} =websocket [NC] RewriteRule /(.*) ws://localhost:3210/$1 [P,L] RewriteCond %{HTTP:Upgrade} !=websocket [NC] RewriteRule ^/(?!static/)(.*)$ http://localhost:3210/$1 [P,L] SSLCertificateFile /root/.lego/certificates/_.site.com.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile /root/.lego/certificates/_.site.com.key Having the console open and reloading to catch network activity shows this on a random image: 200 OK Response header: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2020 10:27:50 GMT Server: Apache Last-Modified: Mon, 01 Jun 2020 19:03:16 GMT ETag: "3313-5a70a727f2500" Accept-Ranges: bytes Content-Length: 13075 Cache-Control: max-age=28512000 Expires: Thu, 08 Jul 2021 10:27:50 GMT Keep-Alive: timeout=5, max=100 Connection: Keep-Alive Content-Type: image/png Request header: GET /static/img/profile_5a914158141c9367e38c4d8a.png?ver=74 HTTP/1.1 Host: hue.merkoba.com User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:79.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/79.0 Accept: image/webp,*/* Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5 Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, br Connection: keep-alive Referer: https://app.site.com/ Cookie: connect.sid=s%3AUZb7Zopuy6LId0iMeMYVaKDtfuppIIxL.8F7Hx%2FeqrodOsS2fHPZjOqRDKTBM4RoBwcKiUu0PUUg; io=fbMMZAHDTJzbnoVvAAAo Cache-Control: max-age=0 If-Modified-Since: Mon, 01 Jun 2020 19:03:16 GMT If-None-Match: "3313-5a70a727f2500" Some curl test: curl -vso /dev/null * Trying 196.83.125.124:443... * TCP_NODELAY set * Connected to app.site.com (192.81.135.159) port 443 (#0) * ALPN, offering h2 * ALPN, offering http/1.1 * successfully set certificate verify locations: * CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt CApath: /etc/ssl/certs } [5 bytes data] * TLSv1.3 (OUT), TLS handshake, Client hello (1): } [512 bytes data] * TLSv1.3 (IN), TLS handshake, Server hello (2): { [112 bytes data] * TLSv1.2 (IN), TLS handshake, Certificate (11): { [2391 bytes data] * TLSv1.2 (IN), TLS handshake, Server key exchange (12): { [147 bytes data] * TLSv1.2 (IN), TLS handshake, Server finished (14): { [4 bytes data] * TLSv1.2 (OUT), TLS handshake, Client key exchange (16): } [37 bytes data] * TLSv1.2 (OUT), TLS change cipher, Change cipher spec (1): } [1 bytes data] * TLSv1.2 (OUT), TLS handshake, Finished (20): } [16 bytes data] * TLSv1.2 (IN), TLS handshake, Finished (20): { [16 bytes data] * SSL connection using TLSv1.2 / ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 * ALPN, server accepted to use http/1.1 * Server certificate: * subject: CN=*.site.com * start date: May 14 20:51:05 2020 GMT * expire date: Aug 12 20:51:05 2020 GMT * subjectAltName: host "app.site.com" matched cert's "*.site.com" * issuer: C=US; O=Let's Encrypt; CN=Let's Encrypt Authority X3 * SSL certificate verify ok. } [5 bytes data] > GET /static/img/profile_5f192733805c646004ecf4c8.png?ver=1 HTTP/1.1 > Host: app.site.com > User-Agent: curl/7.68.0 > Accept: */* > { [5 bytes data] * Mark bundle as not supporting multiuse < HTTP/1.1 200 OK < Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2020 10:30:40 GMT < Server: Apache < Last-Modified: Thu, 23 Jul 2020 06:01:07 GMT < ETag: "16f27-5ab15950eeec0" < Accept-Ranges: bytes < Content-Length: 93991 < Cache-Control: max-age=28512000 < Expires: Thu, 08 Jul 2021 10:30:40 GMT < Content-Type: image/png < { [5 bytes data] * Connection #0 to host app.site.com left intact
