== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= The loading time of my website is very high? =

This can happen, if there are many gravatar images that need to be updated...
Shoudn't be a problem since version 0.9.2.

= Gravatars aren't cached, whats the problem? =
GravatarLocalCache depends on the use of get_avatar() (a WordPress function).
If your plugin/theme doesn't use this function, GLC can't fetch the gravatar requests. Ask the author of the plugin/theme to use "get_avatar()".

= How can i change the cache/proxy-settings of the images? =
If you use apache as your webserver, you can set the options throught .htacces as described [here (german)](http://blog.splash.de/2010/01/29/cache-kontrolle-beim-apache-via-htaccess/) , [here](http://www.samaxes.com/2009/01/more-on-compressing-and-caching-your-site-with-htaccess/) or [here](http://www.realityloop.com/blog/2009/08/19/optimizing-page-load-times-using-moddeflate-modexpires-etag-apache2).
For other webservers you have to check the manual.
