Also it recommends to "leverage browser caching". I.e. set unconditional caching of every static resource for a week. Please remember that it means you will have to implement a solution to reset the cache when you deploy new versions of static files. It might be quilte costly to implement correctly on a legacy site. By the way you can trick Google by enabling caching for a week and then appending current time to every link (http://example.com/file.css?t=12:00:00). In this case you will get a good score AND your users will always get the latest versions of the files.
