Optimizations for nginx

My server is running with nginx. I have configured a few settings including:

Code: Select all

# enable gzip compression
gzip on;
gzip_disable "MSIE [1-6]\.(?!.*SV1)";
gzip_http_version 1.1;
gzip_vary on;
gzip_comp_level 4;
gzip_proxied any;
gzip_types text/plain text/xml text/html text/css application/json application/x-javascript application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript application/javascript text/x-js application/x-font-ttf application/font-woff2 image/x-icon;
gzip_buffers 16 8k;

# Allow embedded fonts from a third-party URL (CDN) & expires headers
location ~* \.(eot|ttf|woff|woff2)$ {
	add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin *;
	expires 30d;
	add_header Cache-Control "public, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate";
	try_files $uri @fallback;
}

#expires headers
location ~* \\.(css|js|gif|jpeg|jpg|png|svg|ico)$ {
	expires 7d;
	add_header Cache-Control "public, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate";
	try_files $uri @fallback;
}

# Security
# don't send the nginx version number in error pages and Server header
server_tokens off;

# config to enable HSTS(HTTP Strict Transport Security)
add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000; includeSubdomains; preload";

# config to don't allow the browser to render the page inside an frame or iframe
add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN" always;

# This header enables the Cross-site scripting (XSS) filter built into most recent web browsers.
add_header X-Xss-Protection "1; mode=block" always;

# when serving user-supplied content, include a X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff header along with the Content-Type: header,
# to disable content-type sniffing on some browsers.
add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff" always;

#disable sending referrer information when moving from https to http
add_header Referrer-Policy "no-referrer-when-downgrade";
Any other recommendations?

First optimize worker_proccesses, how many cpu threads that you use, set it on worker_proccesses
example i have 4 core cpu with 8 threads;

Code: Select all

worker_processes  8;
after that optimize worker_connections,

Code: Select all

worker_connections  1024;
i usually use gzip compression level 2, not heavy for cpu

Code: Select all

gzip_comp_level 2;
add image/x-icon on your gzip type file

Code: Select all

gzip_types text/plain text/css application/javascript image/x-icon;

For better performance you have to optimizing your php server. Optimizing nginx will only give you little effects, just my opinion.
