title: Reducing Network Bandwidth in Nginx with Gzip
---
Browsers that support gzip compression send the header `Accept-Encoding: gzip` in its request and if the webserver supports gzip, then it can send the website data back compressed. Though recently I learned that this isn't setup by default in `nginx`! This post will go over the configuration you'll need to add to `/etc/nginx/nginx.conf` in order to support `gzip` compression. From my experience, enabling `gzip` compression reduced network traffic by 1/4.

| `gzip_buffers` | Sets the `*number*` and `*size*` of buffers used to compress a response. By default, the buffer size is equal to one memory page. This is either 4K or 8K, depending on a platform. |
| `gzip_http_version` | Sets the minimum HTTP version of a request required to compress a response. |
| `gzip_min_length` | Sets the minimum length of a response that will be gzipped. The length is determined only from the “Content-Length” response header field. |
| `gzip_types` | Enables gzipping of responses for the specified MIME types in addition to “`text/html`”. The special value “`*`” matches any MIME type (0.8.29). Responses with the “`text/html`” type are always compressed. |
