Gzip compression is a crucial tool for optimizing web server performance. It reduces the size of data sent from your server to the user’s browser, resulting in faster loading times and improved website performance.<\/span><\/p>\n

This article will guide you through the process of enabling and disabling Gzip compression in Nginx on a Plesk server, ensuring you have the flexibility to control this feature based on your website’s needs.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How to Enable<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/u>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 1.<\/strong> Log into Plesk.<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Step 3<\/strong>. \u00a0Add the following directories to the Additional nginx directories field:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n
gzip on;<\/strong>\ngzip_disable \"MSIE [1-6]\\\\.(?!.*SV1)\";<\/strong>\ngzip_proxied any;<\/strong>\ngzip_comp_level 5;<\/strong>\ngzip_types text\/plain text\/css application\/javascript application\/x-javascript text\/xml application\/xml application\/rss+xml text\/javascript image\/x-icon image\/bmp image\/svg+xml;<\/strong>\ngzip_vary on;<\/strong><\/pre>\n
Note:\u00a0<\/span>This is an example. If needed, add other file types in the<\/span>\u00a0gzip_types<\/span>\u00a0section, E.g:<\/span>\u00a0application\/javascript, application\/js<\/span>\u00a0etc. The Full list of available types \u00a0can be found on a server in the<\/span> files<\/span>\u00a0\/etc\/nginx\/mime.types<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n
Step 4.\u00a0Apply the changes<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n
How to Disable<\/u><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n
Disabling gzip compression for a domain in Plesk<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
Step 1<\/strong><\/span>. Log in to Plesk.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n
Step 2.<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0Go to Domains> example.com> Hosting & DNS> Apache & nginx settings.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n
Note: To disable gzip compression for a domain \/ subdomain that does not exist in Plesk (e.g hostname), create it first.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n
Step 3<\/strong><\/span>. Add the following directive to the Additional nginx directives field.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

Frequently Asked Questions:<\/strong><\/p>\n
What is Gzip compression, and why is it important for a web server?<\/b><\/p>\n
\u00a0Gzip compression is a method used to reduce the size of data transferred between a web server and a user’s browser. It is crucial for web servers because it significantly improves website performance by reducing page loading times. This, in turn, leads to a better user experience and can positively impact search engine rankings.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
