Nginx Site Compression

Adding compressions can significantly reduce the size of the data transmitted.

Note: since compressions happens at run time it can add considerable processing overhead which can in turn cause negative performance.

        
              gzip on; #turns on compressions
gzip_disable "msie6";
gzip_vary on;
gzip_proxied any;
gzip_comp_level 6;
gzip_buffers 16 8k;
gzip_http_version 1.1;
gzip_types text/plain text/css application/json application/x-javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript;
#By default, NGINX compresses responses only with MIME type text/html
