Is setting Expires Header in .htacess a terrible idea for a Woocommerce site?

I have added the following to my .htacces file in order to set the expiry time for the various files types. The speed impact on my woocommerce site has been huge - it's flying now. And everything seems to work.



But surely this is a bad idea as if all the script files, thumbnails etc are cached then things shouldn't work properly one editing the cart / returning customers etc?



It just seems too easy??
