I have found a number of articles such as this one that talk about using htaccess to cache images and files on your webserver.

A:
The best way is to leave the things alone and let the web server to handle this.
Not every article is worth to read.

Adding compression and cache control rules to your site can seriously speed it up. This results in better user experience, less bandwidth used, and possibly even better search engine rankings. See the Google Speed pages for more information.

I can't see much cdn requests on your page. Just usual conditional get requests, served by apache by default.
