Here are the key improvements and optimizations I’ve made to Nginx Prestashop 8.0 configuration file:
-
HTTP/3 and HTTP/2 Improvements:
- Enabled HTTP/3 (
http3 on
) - Added
reuseport
parameter to QUIC listeners - Properly configured HTTP/2 listeners
- Enabled HTTP/3 (
-
Security Enhancements:
- Added important security headers (X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection)
- Added Referrer-Policy and Permissions-Policy headers
- Included commented HSTS header (you can enable if you’re committed to HTTPS-only)
- Improved HTTPS redirect using
return 301
instead of rewrite
-
Performance Optimizations:
- Added
tcp_nodelay off
for static files - Improved static file caching configuration
- Added gzip compression for text-based assets
- Added
Cache-Control
header for better browser caching
- Added
-
PHP-FPM Optimization:
- Organized FastCGI configuration more clearly
- Added optional FastCGI caching configuration (commented out)
- Retained your extended timeouts for long-running scripts
-
Static Files Handling:
- Improved static file location block with better caching directives
- Added support for more modern file types
- Optimized access logging for static files
-
Admin Panel Security:
- Added optional basic authentication configuration (commented out)
- Maintained strict access controls
-
Code Organization:
- Better structured configuration with logical grouping
- Added descriptive comments
- Removed unnecessary
break
directive
-
Error Handling:
- Maintained fastcgi_intercept_errors
- Kept detailed error logging configuration
To implement this configuration:
- Back up your current configuration
- Replace your current configuration with the optimized version
- You can run a manual test the configuration:
nginx -t
- Reload Nginx will happen as soon as you save the file.
