Hello,
Thank you for reaching out and for using Rank Math on your site. I’m sorry to hear about the issue you’re facing with the SEO Analyzer despite having the script in your .htaccess file and using Cloudflare with a Browser Cache TTL of 4 hours.
To resolve the issue with the SEO Analyzer, especially related to the Image Headers Expire test, you may need to ensure that the expire headers are correctly set up for your images. Even though Cloudflare manages caching, it’s essential to confirm that the expire headers are properly configured on your server.
Here is a helpful guide that explains how to add expires headers to your image assets in WordPress: Adding Expires Headers in WordPress.
If after following the guide, you still encounter issues, please ensure that your site returns a 200 OK status code when crawled externally. You can check your website status using tools like httpstatus.io to verify this.
If the problem persists or you have any further questions, feel free to contact our support team directly by clicking here. Our team will be happy to assist you further.
Thank you for your understanding, and we’re here to help you with any additional queries or concerns.

Why Am I Getting “API Error: HTTP 400” Error » Rank Math
I have checked the status of my site with http status and I get 200 OK but also 301. My site has a permanent redirect from http to https through webhostinghub. I don’t know how this would affect the image header expire issue but that’s where I stand. I have logged into google search console to hit validate as it says my https is good but that the http is (non-htttps link) is critical. Im not sure why as nothing should be directing to the http since the redirect is permanent. Thank you again for any further guidance.
Something seems to have updated and now my issue has been fixed. Looks like im only down to Some Opengraph meta tags are missing!
Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math support.
We can confirm that you’re using expires header for your images, and the web-based Rank Math SEO Analyzer is detecting it correctly.
Regarding your OpenGraph meta tags, we can see that Rank Math metatags are being generated on your site – can you please clarify what meta tags are missing?
We are looking forward to hearing back from you.
Hey!
Thanks for getting back to me – I figured it all out and it all works great. Although it led me to double check google search console and now the only issue that I am experiencing is for some reason google says “HTTPS not evaluated”. My site is SSL enabled and http is forced to https via webhostinghub. No idea what im doing wrong to get that error but I suspect that might not be the kind of help rank math provides 🙂 Unless of course you see something obvious on your end what I could be doing incorrectly.
Thanks again – plugin works excellent.
Hello,
Your site’s canonical URL is already set to the HTTPS version. Also, your robots.txt does not block the crawlers for accessing the HTTPS version of your site.
In this case, we recommend checking your SSL Certificate to fix this issue on your Google Search Console account.
Here’s a guide you may follow as well:
