Hi...I read a few articles about managing static files and I'm a bit confused!
I use Nginx as the main server to host my website
I enabled gzip and brotli
I have also enabled gzip_static and brotli_static
And I have pre-compressed all static files with gzip and brotli
I read in an article that after compressing all files, I should delete all
uncompressed files to save memory and only gzip and Brotli files remain.
(Of course, I need to create an empty file called index.html for it to work
properly)
Everything works fine now but my problem is when the browser doesn't support
compression and requires uncompressed files.
In another article it was written that if gunzip is enabled for browsers that
do not support the compressed format, it decompresses the gzip then sends it to
the client.
But after doing some testing, I found (I think) that gnuzip only works if nginx
is used as the proxy (between main server and client) (due to the content
encoding header requirement).
Now, if I want to support gzip, brotli and non-compressed files, do I have to
have all three types of files? Is this method correct? What method do you use?
What method is suggested?Thanks
