# BEGIN GZIP
<ifmodule mod_deflate.c>
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/text text/html text/plain text/xml text/css application/x-javascript application/javascript
</ifmodule>
# END GZIP

# CACHING
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
    ExpiresActive On
    # ExpiresDefault     "access plus 2 days"
    
    ExpiresByType text/css     "access plus 1 month"
    ExpiresByType text/javascript             "access plus 1 month"
    ExpiresByType application/javascript     "access plus 1 month"
    ExpiresByType application/x-javascript     "access plus 1 month"
    
    ExpiresByType image/ico         "access plus 1 month"
    ExpiresByType image/x-icon         "access plus 1 month"
    ExpiresByType image/gif         "access plus 1 month"
    ExpiresByType image/jpg         "access plus 1 month"
    ExpiresByType image/jpeg         "access plus 1 month"

</IfModule>

# GZIP for js, css and html
<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
  <FilesMatch "\.(js|css|html)$">
    SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
  </FilesMatch>
</IfModule>

why you are using caching PNG twice (    ExpiresByType image/png         "access plus 1 month" )?
And also on my site users are not allowed to upload any video just youtube videos are shown & I think those are just thumbnails and just shockwave/flash so can I remove  these 3 lines
    ExpiresByType video/mp4         "access plus 1 month"
    ExpiresByType video/ogg         "access plus 1 month"
    ExpiresByType video/webm         "access plus 1 month"

Thanks good catch. And yes, you can delete any type you like / don't need.
