The first time you visit a domain, these files are downloaded and stored in the browser’s cache. On subsequent visits, the browser can serve the local versions instead of downloading the files again. This enables the web page to load much faster as it only needs to retrieve the data that has changed since the last visit. It offers a much better experience for users and is the reason Google’s PageSpeed Insights recommends that it be implemented. You will add a small piece of code that will tell browsers to store CSS, JavaScript, images, and PDF files in their cache for a period of seven days or max. Insert the following snippet inside the server block directly after the previous code for Gzip compression: # vi /home/admin/conf/web/mail.datahead.biz.nginx.ssl.conf location ~* ^.+\.(3gp|gif|bmp|jpg|jpeg|png|ico|wmv|avi|asf|asx|mpg|mpeg|mp4|pls|mp3|mid|wav|swf|flv|html|htm|txt|js|css|exe|zip|tar|rar|gz|tgz|bz2|uha|7z|doc|docx|xls|xlsx|pdf|iso|woff|ttf|svg|eot|sh)$ { expires max; ad...

Gzip is a popular compression algorithm and format on the web. Gzip requires browser support, but you don’t have to worry because most popular browsers have support for it. Although Instructions to enable Gzip varies with different web servers, they are still very similar.  Here’s how Gzip works with Nginx: Now add the following Code to your Nginx Configuration file or you can add it to your vhost domain # Compression gzip gzip on; gzip_vary on; gzip_comp_level 6; gzip_min_length 512; gzip_buffers 8 64k; gzip_types application/atom+xml application/javascript application/x-javascript application/json application/ld+json application/manifest+json application/xml+rss application/vnd.geo+json application/vnd.ms-fontobject application/x-font-ttf application/x-web-app-manifest+json application/xhtml+xml application/xml font/opentype image/bmp image/png image/svg+xml image/x-icon image/gif image/jpeg text/cache-manifest text/css text/plain text/vcard text/vnd.rim.location....

Using a SSL certificate that doesn't mean you are secure, but there is a lot more to Strengthening Web Site Security. Whilst most people are happy with just having their site running under SSL after successfully figuring out how certbot and Let’s Encrypt works. Strengthening Web Site Security is very easy as it only requires you to set up what is called a Content Security Policy (CSP). What a Content Security Policy does is tell a browser what external resources can be loaded within your site without being regarded and Non-Secure Origins. It’s an essential part of good security especially when it comes to SSL. But Strengthening Web Site Security does not stop there as there are additional server headers that need to be implemented to prevent cross browser sniffing, people loading parts of your site with a frame in their site and what is called an XSS header which prevents cross scripting attacks from browsers and then also a strict transport security header call...

I will show you  how to change the default Vesta port from port 8083 to port 2087. You could change your port number to any other number. I will use 2087 port because Cloudflare  supports that port in their free subscription. So I can protect my server from DDOS Attack using Cloudflare Free Subscription. In brief the steps to change your port are: Add the new port(2087) on VestaCP firewall Edit Nginx to Listen to the new port Restart vesta Delete the old port, 8083 . I am not using VestaCP firewall, I am using CSF firewall to my Vesta Control Panel. So I not showing you Step 1. 2.Edit Nginx to Listen to the new port # vi /usr/local/vesta/nginx/conf/nginx.conf

We have already secure nginx and vesta-nginx using Let's Encrypt SSL in our previous tutorial. Now it is very important to secure Server FQDN where my Server FQDN is mail.datahead.biz. At first I will enable http2   then i will redirect all http request to https . 1. At first Enable http2 in server block # vi /home/admin/conf/web/mail.datahead.biz.nginx.ssl.conf server { listen 192.146.82.3:443 ssl http2; server_name mail.datahead.biz ; server_tokens off; root /home/admin/web/mail.datahead.biz/public_html; index index.php index.html index.htm; access_log /var/log/nginx/domains/mail.datahead.biz.log combined; access_log /var/log/nginx/domains/mail.datahead.biz.bytes bytes; error_log /var/log/nginx/domains/mail.datahead.biz.error.log error; #ssl on; ssl_certificate /home/admin/conf/web/ssl.mail.datahead.biz.pem; ssl_certificate_key /home/admin/conf/web/ssl.mail.datahead.biz.key; 2.
