*Community,* Same as asked here also: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63857630/slow-nginx-behavior-when-using-as-reverse-proxy-for-https
*Setup:* 1. Dummy SSL endpoint https://hookb.in/VGQ3wdGGzKSE22bwzRdP 2. Install Nginx on localhost *Steps:* 1. Hit the hookb.in endpoint using browser for very first time and we get network activity like below. It took 865 ms [image: enter image description here] <https://i.stack.imgur.com/fXugQ.png> Fig 1 2. Subsequent hit to hookb.in endpoint using browser take much less time as it is using the same tcp connection, below is the screen shot for ref. (All Good!!) [image: enter image description here] <https://i.stack.imgur.com/GheyZ.png> Fig 2 3. setup the http-> https reverse proxy using below nginx config worker_processes 1; events { worker_connections 1024; } http { keepalive_timeout 65; server { listen 80; server_name localhost; location /session { proxy_pass https://hookb.in/VGQ3wdGGzKSE22bwzRdP; proxy_http_version 1.1; proxy_set_header Connection "keep-alive"; proxy_ssl_session_reuse on; proxy_socket_keepalive on; } } } 1. Now from browser hit http://127.0.0.1/session and nginx will work fine and proxy the content from https site. But nginx response time is always 200ms more than compared to accessing https site directly. Screen shot below for ref *Why nignx is taking extra time , is it opening new ssl connection every time or is there something else?* I understand with reverse proxy we are adding extra hop , but 200ms is big difference. *How can i fix it ?* [image: enter image description here] <https://i.stack.imgur.com/3mSeA.png> Any Help will be appricated!!
