I was checking my website performance on Google PageSpeed Insights when I noticed a recommendation to enable text compression.
What made this looks great was the potential saving of 3.3 seconds from the page load time.
To enable text compression, it's a fairly easy step.
Simply open the Nginx configuration file in the Nano editor:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
Mine had already the configurations by default, but they were commented out:
I simply uncommented these settings and saved the file using CTRL+o then CTRL+X.
Finally, I restarted Nginx using the following command:
sudo systemctl restart nginx
After running the speed text again on the same page, the results fascinated me!
That is it :) Enjoy your new website's speed :)
