Caching in NGINX App Server<\/h2>\n

Caching in NGINX involves storing data in front of web servers. For instance, files automatically requested by a user when viewing a webpage can be saved in the NGINX cache directory. When the user revisits a page they’ve recently viewed, the browser can retrieve those files from the NGINX cache directory instead of the original server, which saves both time and bandwidth.<\/p>\n

Caching enhances resource access performance in two main ways:<\/p>\n

Step 1.<\/strong> It reduces the access time to the resource by storing it closer to the user.<\/p>\n

Step 2.<\/strong> It speeds up resource generation by minimizing the number of accesses. For example, instead of rebuilding your blog’s homepage with every request, you can store it in a cache.<\/p>\n

How to configure a cache on a NginxPHP server is covered in this post.<\/p>\n

Using a NginxPHP server, you can leverage caching to improve performance by serving pre-compiled HTML responses for repeated PHP queries directly from the cache.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong> We restrict the disk cache to a maximum of 5 GB.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

To set up caching, follow these steps:<\/p>\n

Step 1.<\/strong>\u00a0 Sign in to your platform dashboard.<\/p>\n

Step 2. <\/strong>Select the New Environment option.<\/p>\n

\"New<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 3.<\/strong> Set up the environment using NGINX as the application server. Define the cloudlet limits<\/a>, enter a name for your environment, and then click the Create button.<\/p>\n

\"Environment<\/a><\/p>\n

Your environment will be set up shortly and will then appear in the list of available environments.<\/p>\n

Step 4.<\/strong> To configure the cache, click the Config<\/a> button for the NGINX node in your environment, then go to the etc<\/strong> directory and open the php.ini file.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Config<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 5.<\/strong> To enable caching on your NginxPHP server, you can use either APC or eAccelerator.<\/p>\n
