I am trying to speed up my Wordpress site. On GTmetrix I am receiving a E(50) for Leverage browser caching.
I am trying to add the code below to my /etc/nginx/nginx.conf file
location ~* \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|ico|css|js)$ {
expires 365d;
}location ~* \.(pdf)$ {
expires 30d;
}
Unfortunately any attempt at restarting nginx ends in a [fail]
Please help!

if you have more than one website create its xyz.conf file and then add this part /etc/nginx/sites-available/xyz.conf or /etc/nginx/conf.d/xyz.conf or wherever your path is
location ~* \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|ico|css|js)$ {
expires 365d;
}
location ~* \.(pdf)$ {
expires 30d;
}
different .conf file will help you to reduce the confusion
You should add that inside of an existing server block. Usually that will be in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost;
location / {
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
index index.html index.htm;
}
location ~* \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|ico|css|js)$ {
expires 365d;
}
location ~* \.(pdf)$ {
expires 30d;
}
}
