NGINX : browser caching and gzip compression

While serving static content from server to browser, if performance is very slow.

1. Enable GZIP compression which will serve files of specified format by zipping it between (server-browser) this minimises web serving time.  
2. Enable images caching to 6 days or more, if you want NGINX to cache images in it and serve faster. 

1. /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf

location ~* \favicon.ico$ {

        expires 6d;

    }

    location ~ \.css {

        root /var/www/html;

        add_header  Content-Type    text/css;

        expires 6d;

    }

    location ~* \.js {

        root /var/www/html;

        add_header  Content-Type    application/x-javascript;

        expires 6d;

    }

    location ~* \.png|jpeg|jpg {

        root /var/www/html;

        add_header  Content-Type    image/png;

        add_header  Content-Type    image/jpeg;

        add_header  Content-Type    image/jpg;

        expires 6d;

    }

    location ~* \.svg {

        root /var/www/html;

        add_header  Content-Type    image/svg+xml;

        expires 6d;

    }

2. /etc/nginx/conf.d/gzip.conf

gzip on;

gzip_proxied any;

gzip_comp_level 6;

gzip_buffers 16 8k;

gzip_min_length 256;

gzip_types text/css text/javascript text/xml text/plain text/x-component application/javascript application/json application/xml application/rss+xml font/truetype font/opentype application/vnd.ms-fontobject image/svg+xml;

gzip_disable "MSIE [1-6]\.(?!.*SV1)";

gzip_vary on;
