gzip in nginx
gzip on;
Enable gzip compression for responses.
gzip_types text/plain text/css application/json application/javascript text/xml;
Specify the MIME types to compress. For example:
- text/plain: Compress plain text files.
- text/css: Compress CSS files.
- application/json: Compress JSON responses.
- application/javascript: Compress JavaScript files.
- text/xml: Compress XML files.
gzip_min_length 256;
Only compress files larger than 256 bytes. For example:
- A 100-byte file won't be compressed.
- A 300-byte file will be compressed.
gzip_comp_level 5;
Set the compression level (1 = fastest, 9 = best compression).
Level 5 is a balance between speed and compression.
gzip_static on;
Serve pre-compressed .gz files if available. For example:
- If `style.css.gz` exists, it will be served instead of compressing `style.css` on the fly.
gzip_proxied any;
keepalive_timeout 65;
Reuse connections for 65 seconds to improve performance.
sendfile on;
Enable efficient file transfers. For example:
- Static files like images or CSS will be sent faster.
tcp_nopush on;
Optimize the TCP stack for sending large files.
