Description

As per https://github.com/Automattic/wp-super-cache/issues/42, it would be great if WPSC handled some additional settings recommended by Google PageSpeed, including KeepAlive and Cache Control.

This is what I use (works with Apache and LiteSpeed):

``
`Header set Connection keep-alive`
``
``
`Header set Cache-Control "max-age=29030400"`
`Header append Cache-Control "public"`
``
``
`Header set Cache-Control "max-age=2592000"`
`Header append Cache-Control "proxy-revalidate"`
``

Research direction

Start by reviewing how WP Super Cache handles generated web-server configuration and cached responses, then compare that behavior with the KeepAlive and Cache-Control snippets in the issue. Done means the requested settings are supported without breaking Apache or LiteSpeed caching behavior, with verification for the affected asset types.
