How do setup gzip & leverage browser caching properly

you can make sure Nginx.conf has the following: <br> <br> gzip on; <br> gzip_vary on; <br> gzip_disable “MSIE [1-6].”; <br> gzip_proxied any; <br> gzip_http_version 1.1; <br> gzip_min_length 0; <br> gzip_comp_level 4; <br> gzip_buffers 16 8k; <br> <br>and you can use x-cache to cache php mainly… <br> <br>you can use some nginx modules to compress or combine css and js files. <br> <br>you can compress images as well through many ways to speed up the site load time

Thank you! Do you know the steps required to leverage caching?

you just need to add this to your nginx vhost block: <br> <br>location ~* .(js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|ico)(?ver=[0-9.]+)?$ { <br> expires 1y; <br>} <br> <br>or add this for more caching to other things you have on your site: <br> <br>location ~* ^.+.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|svg|js|css|mp3|ogg|mpeg|avi|zip|gz|bz2?| <br>rar|swf)$ { <br> expires 7d; <br> }
