This post covers 2 section which helps to boost the website performance. As we know, nginx is fast webserver and we are going to improve the performance by tweaking few more parameters on nginx. If the server doesn’t have nginx installed then follow the post\u00a0<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Assumption:<\/h5>\n
    \n
  1. Nginx webserver<\/li>\n
  2. Centos or Ubuntu server<\/li>\n
  3. Installation path:\/etc\/nginx\/<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    1. Enable Expires headers on Nginx:<\/h4>\n

    Open site configuration file. Let’s assume that, we have only one website on the server and the nginx configuration file “\/etc\/nginx\/sites-enabled\/default<\/em>“, the document root would be\u00a0\/var\/www\/html.<\/em><\/p>\n

    We are going to add expires header for the following static content files.<\/p>\n

    ico|css|js|gif|jpe?g|png<\/em><\/p>\n

    vi \/etc\/nginx\/sites-enabled\/default<\/code><\/p>\n

    Add the following content under\u00a0server {<\/strong><\/p>\n

    location ~* \\.(?:ico|css|js|gif|jpe?g|png)$ {
    \nexpires 30d;
    \nadd_header Pragma public;
    \nadd_header Cache-Control “public”;
    \n}<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Check the syntax of the nginx configuration<\/p>\n

    <\/code>nginx -t<\/code><\/p>\n

    Make sure that there is no error in the configuration.<\/p>\n

    systemctl restart nginx<\/code><\/p>\n

    Verification:<\/h5>\n

    Execute the following command to verify expires command.<\/p>\n

    curl -I http:\/\/domain.tld\/css\/assets.min.css<\/code><\/p>\n

    Enable gzip compression:<\/h4>\n

    Open nginx configuration file.<\/p>\n

    vi \/etc\/nginx\/nginx.conf<\/code><\/p>\n

    Enable\/Edit\/Append the following line on configuration<\/p>\n

    gzip on;
    \ngzip_disable “msie6”;<\/p>\n

    gzip_vary on;<\/p>\n

    gzip_types text\/plain text\/css application\/json application\/javascript text\/xml application\/xml application\/xml+rss text\/javascript image\/x-icon\u00a0image\/svg+xml text\/js<\/span>;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Check the nginx configuration<\/p>\n

    nginx -t<\/code><\/p>\n

    Restart the nginx service.<\/p>\n

    <\/code>systemctl restart nginx<\/code><\/p>\n

    Verification:<\/h5>\n

    Execute the following command to verify whether gzip enabled.<\/p>\n

    curl -I -H \"Accept-Encoding: gzip\" https:\/\/domain.tld\/css\/asset.min.css<\/code><\/p>\n

    Cache-Control: max-age=2592000
