If you follow the suggested link in the previous post you can download an O'Reilly Nginx book.
One suggestion I have to improve performance is to firewall off all the 'bots. Firewalls are extremely efficient. Start with AWS: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-ip-ranges.html Bots are half the internet traffic, but that includes both bad and good bots. If you are handy with bgp.he.net, I suggest blocking OVH. Some people block entire countries.

Or Any other suggestions are really helpful. You're probably more likely to get useful tips if you can show your starting point, and describe what result you want. https://www.nginx.com/blog/testing-the-performance-of-nginx-and-nginx-plus-web-servers/ is a few years old, but does include a link to the specific tests that were done then. It also has a link to a sizing guide with some numbers when using nginx as a reverse proxy. Maybe what you see as "a drastic drop", is normal, if every http request involves a new from-scratch tls connection? Good luck with it, f -- Francis Daly fran...@daoine.org _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list nginx@nginx.org http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list nginx@nginx.org http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
