Optimize NGINX Performance

By Amit Sarkar · March 24, 2024

NGINX is powerful, but out of the box it might not be fully optimized for production. Here's what you can do:

Enable Gzip Compression

gzip on;
gzip_types text/plain text/css application/json application/javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript;
    

Use Caching

Leverage browser and server caching to reduce repeated load.

Increase Worker Connections

worker_processes auto;
events {
  worker_connections 1024;
}
