Recommended Nginx Configuration for Comet Cache
The following Nginx configuration recommendations are to be used in addition to an existing Nginx configuration. If you need help getting WordPress working with an Nginx server, please consult the WordPress Nginx page. The following contains configuration relevant to improving speed on your site and for the best compatibility with Comet Cache.
See the comments inside the configuration below for further details about each section.
server {
# ↓ See: http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#etag
# This reduces load on your server by supporting the If-Modified-Since header,
# since by browsers for static resources.
etag on;
expires 7d;
if_modified_since before;
# ↓ See: http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_gzip_module.html#gzip
# This enables GZIP compression in Nginx, making all static
# resources load faster in browsers.
gzip on;
gzip_vary on;
gzip_comp_level 6;
gzip_types text/plain text/xml image/svg+xml # text/html in core already.
application/rss+xml application/atom+xml application/xhtml+xml
text/css application/json application/x-javascript
application/font-otf application/font-ttf;
# Do not allow public access to private cache directory.
if ($uri ~* /wp\-content/cache/comet\-cache/cache(?:/|$)) {
return 403;
}
# Do not allow public access to private cache directory.
if ($uri ~* /wp\-content/cache/comet\-cache/htmlc/private(?:/|$)) {
return 403;
}
# ↓ See: http://davidwalsh.name/cdn-fonts
# This prevents cross-domain security issues related to fonts.
# Only needed if you use Static CDN Filters in Comet Cache.
location ~* \.(?:ttf|ttc|otf|eot|woff|woff2|css|js)$ {
add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin *;
}
# ↓ This is optional, but suggested. It's a flag to tell Comet Cache
# that you completed this Nginx configuration.
location ~* \.php$ {
fastcgi_param WP_NGINX_CONFIG done;
}
}
Important Note: The server{} configuration block in this example is incomplete; i.e., it only contains the configuration relevant to improving speed on your site and for the best compatibility with Comet Cache. It does not include things like listen and try_files directives. Please consult the Nginx documentation if you need help with that part.
