From b9ad99560546ff019a9a1e44c01a354c6fa291be Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Micah Elizabeth Scott Date: Wed, 22 Aug 2018 14:34:41 -0700 Subject: Add gzip support to the sample nginx configuration Without gzip explicitly enabled, load times suffer from transferring over a megabyte of plaintext javascript. With gzip enabled, the bundle is down to about 300K, and loads much faster. This change does not enable gzip on files that are already compressed, so images, fonts, and videos will be sent without the CPU overhead. --- support/nginx/peertube | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) diff --git a/support/nginx/peertube b/support/nginx/peertube index 01506c7aa..1b698576f 100644 --- a/support/nginx/peertube +++ b/support/nginx/peertube @@ -37,6 +37,11 @@ server { # resolver $DNS-IP-1 $DNS-IP-2 valid=300s; # resolver_timeout 5s; + # Enable compression for JS/CSS/HTML and JSON, for improved client load times + gzip on; + gzip_types text/plain text/css text/html application/javascript application/json; + gzip_vary on; + add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=63072000; includeSubDomains; preload"; access_log /var/log/nginx/peertube.example.com.access.log; -- cgit v1.2.3
