A curated reference of NGINX configuration snippets and tuning guidance for maximizing web server performance, covering worker processes, connection handling, caching, logging, and security settings. It is a documentation-style resource (originally a gist) rather than installable software.

Use cases

• tune nginx for high traffic
• optimize nginx worker_connections and worker_processes
• speed up nginx file serving with sendfile and open_file_cache
• harden nginx configuration with security best practices
• reduce nginx cpu usage under load
• example nginx.conf for high request rates

When to choose

• you administer an NGINX server and want proven performance-tuning directives
• you need a reference config to benchmark and adapt for high-concurrency workloads
• you want a checklist of common NGINX security and performance best practices

When to avoid

• you need a turnkey production config - the author explicitly states it is for testing environments and requires adaptation
• you use a web server other than NGINX
• you want an automated tuning tool rather than manual configuration guidance
