One key factor affecting performance is the size of the files that browsers must download. Reducing file sizes speeds up loading times and reduces bandwidth usage. In this blog we&#8217;ll learn How to Improve Website Performance with gzip and Nginx on Ubuntu <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\" id=\"h-introduction\"><strong>Introduction<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>gzip is a popular data compression method that can significantly reduce the size of web files. Nginx can be configured to compress files on the fly, sending compressed data to browsers that automatically decompress it. This process is lossless, meaning no information is lost, just smaller data transfers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Text-based files like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript compress extremely well, sometimes shrinking to less than half their original size. On the other hand, images like JPEG or PNG are already compressed, so additional compression has minimal effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\" id=\"h-prerequisites\"><strong>Prerequisites<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before starting, ensure you have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>An Ubuntu server with a non-root user with sudo privileges.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nginx installed on your server.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\"><strong>Step 1 \u2014 Creating Test Files<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To see gzip in action, we\u2019ll create a few small test files in Nginx\u2019s default directory:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>sudo truncate -s 1k \/var\/www\/html\/test.html\nsudo truncate -s 1k \/var\/www\/html\/test.jpg\nsudo truncate -s 1k \/var\/www\/html\/test.css\nsudo truncate -s 1k \/var\/www\/html\/test.js<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Nginx determines file type via the file extension, so the actual content of these files is irrelevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\" id=\"h-step-2-checking-the-default-behavior\"><strong>Step 2 \u2014 Checking the Default Behavior<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We can check if Nginx compresses files by sending an HTTP request with gzip support:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>curl -H \"Accept-Encoding: gzip\" -I http:\/\/localhost\/test.html<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Expected output for HTML:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"292929\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #292929;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"268\" height=\"24\" sizes=\"(max-width: 268px) 100vw, 268px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skynats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-1.webp\" alt=\"Nginx compresses files\" class=\"wp-image-16944 not-transparent\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>By default, Nginx compresses only HTML files. Other file types like CSS, JS and images are served uncompressed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>curl -H \"Accept-Encoding: gzip\" -I http:\/\/localhost\/test.css<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Output: no Content-Encoding header<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\"><strong>Step 3 \u2014 Configuring gzip in Nginx<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Open the Nginx configuration file:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>sudo nano \/etc\/nginx\/nginx.conf<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Locate the gzip section. You\u2019ll see something like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>gzip on;\ngzip_disable \"msie6\";\n\n# gzip_vary on;\n# gzip_proxied any;\n# gzip_comp_level 6;\n# gzip_buffers 16 8k;\n# gzip_http_version 1.1;\n# gzip_types text\/plain text\/css application\/json application\/x-javascript text\/xml application\/xml application\/xml+rss text\/javascript;<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Update it to enable additional compression options and extend gzip to more file types:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>gzip on;\ngzip_disable \"msie6\";\n\ngzip_vary on;\ngzip_proxied any;\ngzip_comp_level 6;\ngzip_buffers 16 8k;\ngzip_http_version 1.1;\ngzip_min_length 256;\ngzip_types\n  application\/atom+xml\n  application\/geo+json\n  application\/javascript\n  application\/x-javascript\n  application\/json\n  application\/ld+json\n  application\/manifest+json\n  application\/rdf+xml\n  application\/rss+xml\n  application\/xhtml+xml\n  application\/xml\n  font\/eot\n  font\/otf\n  font\/ttf\n  image\/svg+xml\n  text\/css\n  text\/javascript\n  text\/plain\n  text\/xml;<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Save the file and restart Nginx:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>sudo systemctl restart nginx<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\"><strong>Step 4 \u2014 Verifying gzip Compression<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Check the HTML file again:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>curl -H \"Accept-Encoding: gzip\" -I http:\/\/localhost\/test.html<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You should see:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"292929\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #292929;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"268\" height=\"24\" sizes=\"(max-width: 268px) 100vw, 268px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skynats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-2.webp\" alt=\"Verifying gzip Compression\" class=\"wp-image-16945 not-transparent\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Check CSS or JavaScript files:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>curl -H \"Accept-Encoding: gzip\" -I http:\/\/localhost\/test.css<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Now gzip is active for these file types too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"292929\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #292929;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"268\" height=\"24\" sizes=\"(max-width: 268px) 100vw, 268px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skynats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-3.webp\" alt=\"Verifying gzip Compression files\" class=\"wp-image-16946 not-transparent\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Enabling gzip compression in Nginx is simple but highly effective. Benefits include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Faster load times for users on limited bandwidth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduced server bandwidth usage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improved SEO with faster page speed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By extending gzip to all compressible file types, you optimize your website\u2019s performance with minimal effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking to Improve Website Performance with gzip and Nginx on Ubuntu, implementing the right configuration is only the first step.
