Serve static files directly by nginx - ACTIVATED

Htaccess in attach files

I also use wp rocket and I installed the wp rocket module on the server, I think I have to add something in the directives but I'm not sure.

I am a beginner and I want help, probably htaccess is inappropriate, please offer me a better option, if possible.

Don't throw stones and post only if you can help me. Thanks!

This is the top search on google when you search for this issue and its bugging me that it was never answered!

Here are my setting below that work for me using a WordPress site.

On Proxy Mode

On Smart static files processing

On Serve static files directly by nginx
Remove all but below

Off Enable nginx caching (though I don't think it matters)

Additional nginx directives

Hi, and thanks for the support.
I have copied your advice, but I don't seem to be having any luck?

Hi people. Did anybody get any further with this one? I am being hit with "Serve static assets with an efficient cache policy" throughout all my Wordpress sites too.

Anybody aware of additional Nginx directives to appease Google insights reports?

I usually run with the attached by default.

Plesk is on latest 18.0.52
