Magento Site Performance Optimization

Chapter 2
Configuration tweaks
In this subsection, we will only modify the /etc/nginx/nginx.conf file. This
file is the main configuration file of the Nginx web server. The first tweak in this
configuration file will be to get the event section to look similar to the following code:
events {
worker_connections 1024;
multi_accept on;
use epoll;
}
Then, we have to uncomment the following parameters:
server_tokens off;
sendfile
on;
tcp_nopush
on;
tcp_nodelay
on;
You can then set the gzip section to the following:
gzip
on;
gzip_vary
on;
gzip_proxied any;
gzip_types
text/css application/x-javascript;
gzip_buffers 16 8k;
gzip_comp_level 6;
gzip_min_length 1024;
It may seem little, but Nginx is already the most powerful server. Let's discover
how the performances have been increased by these modifications. The Nginx
performance after the modifications is as follows:
