Nginx Cache
===========

[](#nginx-cache)

Harness the power of Nginx to statically cache your Craft site.

TTFB below 5ms!

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Site Config

[](#site-config)

Update your sites Nginx conf file to include the three includes below (they are located in your site's storage directory):

```
include /path/to/site/storage/nginx/cache.conf;

server {
    # ...

    include /path/to/site/storage/nginx/cache-server.conf;

    # ...

    location ~ \.php$ {
        # ...
        include /path/to/site/storage/nginx/cache-location.conf;
        # ...
    }
}

```

### Reload Command

[](#reload-command)

The reload command will be executed using `exec` after the config is saved. If you find that the command isn't working (Nginx isn't reloading after save) it is likely due to PHP not having permission to run the command. You can give PHP permission by adding the command to your server's `sudoers` file. To edit your `sudoers` file run `$ sudo visudo` on your server, then add the following:

```
www-data ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD:nginx -s reload

```

Substitute `nginx -s reload` with whatever your command is.

If you don't have a `sudoers` file you will need to manually reload Nginx after each save of the plugin config.

### Docker

[](#docker)

If you are using Docker ensure that your chosen cache directory and Craft's storage directory (or at least the Nginx directory in storage) are available to both your PHP and Nginx containers.
