Nginx does not compress web pages-CodePudding

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

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

CodePudding user response：

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;
