Nginx as reverse proxy and rocket-nginx

[ghost]

Hello Maxime,

Thanks very much for your code. It is in production with woocommerce and give to our shop the speed of a static website.

If I work with hiawatha web server for security purpose, this one can't serve directly files in wp-rocket cache folder without calling php-fpm process.
Same scenario with apache or other web server.

So, is it possible to use your script with nginx as reverse proxy ?

Best regards

Yes, it is totally possible.

That said, if you use Nginx as a reverse proxy, it is probably because you are using Apache. Therefore, you wouldn't use PHP-FPM, right ? Usually FPM is used when Nginx is used alone.

When you say "this one can't serve directly files in wp-rocket cache folder without calling php-fpm process.", does it mean they tweaked their configuration to serve every file (CSS, JS, images, ...) via FPM ? If that's the case, this adds a lot of unnecessary overhead to your server.

Please add more details.
