Thanks. Lu Bang Thang

Hi.

I can recommend you few DigitalOcean that could help you. This is not something VestaCP specific, but this will help tweak both Apache and Nginx if you want.

NGINX

How to optimize Nginx is older Debian tutorial, but it will still do its job, even on Centos. Nginx directives are same for all distros, so this is not problem. Beside that I would recommend some more steps like: Installing gzip - this tutorial for Centos 7 will help you learn more about it. In case you are using Wordpress this can help you. In case of PHP application, FastCGI caching can help.

For keepalive_timeout under nginx - syntax of it is keepalive_timeout timeout (header_timeout) This is used to specify how long keep-alive client connection will stay open on server side. header_timeout is used to specify that time in Keep-alive response header.
