Caching issue on Wordpress Nginx installation.

We are running an NGINX server and are experiencing strange caching behaviour. The site is Wordpress running Fastest Cache. The cache control on the response headers consistently says:

max-age=0, no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate

The website is [boxChilli][https://www.boxchilli.com/]

I have tried everything to get the site to cache correctly but I thought it best to throw this open to the community.

Because the HTML files are not cached, so it says no-cache for html files, and its storing age as max-age:0 to indicate the contents are served from server always. But the rest of the contents should be cached, if nginx is configured as following.

Please try this tutorial written by me. I explained everything in detailed. http://nucuta.com/wp-fastest-cache-configuration-for-nginx/

Additionally use this in nginx.conf in /etc/nginx/ you don't have to mention text/html as html files are compressed in default. 

gzip on;
gzip_disable "msie6";
gzip_vary on;
gzip_proxied any;
gzip_comp_level 6;
gzip_buffers 16 8k;
gzip_http_version 1.1;
gzip_types text/plain text/css application/json application/javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript;

And in default file in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

location ~* \.(css|gif|ico|jpeg|jpg|js|png|woff|woff2|ttf|ttc|otf|eot)$ {
        expires max;
        log_not_found off;
    }
