But I do not see Content-Encoding: gzip if I open a webpage with Developer Tools:
EDIT1
It does not compress application/javascript, but comresses text/html whille text/html is not listed in gzip_types:
actually adding/remoing gzip on; directive to the config does not have an effect.
Changing to this does not help:
gzip_types text/plain application/javascript application/x-javascript text/javascript text/xml text/css;
EDIT2
gzip_static on; from here does not help.
Nothing helps, it refuses to work, this does not help:
# output compression saves bandwidth
gzip on;
gzip_http_version 1.1;
gzip_vary on;
gzip_comp_level 6;
gzip_proxied any;
gzip_types text/plain text/html text/css application/json application/javascript application/x-javascript text/javascript text/xml application/xml application/rss+xml application/atom+xml application/rdf+x$
# make sure gzip does not lose large gzipped js or css files
# see http://blog.leetsoft.com/2007/07/25/nginx-gzip-ssl.html
gzip_buffers 16 8k;
# Disable gzip for certain browsers.
gzip_disable “MSIE [1-6].(?!.*SV1)”;
In my /etc/nginx/nginx.conf I have this:
gzip on;
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/javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript;
In Chrome Dev Tools, ensure that "Disable cache" is checked when refreshing and testing.
You can also try testing on static URLs, and Nginx will return Content-Encoding: gzip when configured properly:
location ~ ^/test.js$ {
gzip_types application/javascript;
gzip on;
default_type application/javascript;
return 200 "/***** hello *****/";
}
$ curl --compressed -kIX GET https://example.com/test.js
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: nginx
Date: Fri, 01 Dec 2021 00:00:00 GMT
Content-Type: application/javascript; charset=utf-8
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Encoding: gzip
It is not Nginx, it is Google Chrome browser, pressing F5 does not actually reload the javascript (if Disable Cache is not checked).
Uncomment this in your /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:
gzip on;
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/javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript;
I hope somebody can help me to solve/understand this issue as I am totally stuck.
I am a ec2 instance running nginx. This ec2 instance is behind a load balancer.
My nginx configuration, is to reverse the traffic to an external service hosted on azure.
But for demonstration purpose lets assume this external service is example.com
all my infra is working, and my nginx configuration files is like this:

With this configuration everything works just fine. But if I remove the server on port 80 and keep only the 443 and reload nginx. On the browser I get the error Bad Gateway
Is the server 80 required for nginx? I checked all the documentation and couldn't find anything.
Please can anyone enlighten me on this issue or just point me on the right path? thank you so much for any help you can provide or hint.
And please if my question is not 100% clear, don't hesitate to ask for details
I'm unsure as to why gzip it showing as failed on both webpagetest and gtmetrix when in my nginx config I have it enabled.
I'm currently running nginx version: nginx/1.10.1
Here is my current nginx config

Here is the results of webpagetest and gtmetrix
I want enable the gzip compression on my nginx server. The nginx.conf file is here:
http {
# Enable Gzip
server {
location ~* \.(?:ico|woff|css|js|gif|jpe?g|png)$ {

add_header Pragma public;

location ~ "^/ngx_pagespeed_static/" { }
location ~ "^/ngx_pagespeed_beacon" { }
}
}
Unfortunately the gzip compression not working, Google Pagespeed and Gtmetrix not detect this.
Where can I place the gzip conf?
In The http{} server{} or location{} tag?
I already tried in the http and in the location tags too
You can put the gzip configuration anywhere, but if you want to apply it to all websites / files it is best to put it in the http section - this will then be the default for all server and location blocks. I would also "shorten" / change your config to the following:
http {
gzip on;
gzip_min_length 500;
gzip_proxied any;
gzip_comp_level 4;
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_vary on;
gzip_disable "msie6";
... here come your server blocks / rest of your config
}
I use that configuration and it works fine for me - you can also test it in your browser first (for example with Firebug) before testing it with external services.
Using gzip_static only makes sense if you actually generate gzipped files for Nginx (as filename + .gz), so this has nothing to do with enabling gzip and should only be a possible second step.
Is there a way to change the handler for compression from gzip to lzf in nginx ?
Actual config:
gzip on;
gzip_disable "msie6";
gzip_vary on;
gzip_proxied any;
gzip_comp_level 6;
gzip_buffers 16 8k;
gzip_min_length 1024;
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;
can be it translated to ?
lzf on;
