Nginx Config Generator — Performance-Optimized Server Configuration
Generate nginx server block configurations for static sites, reverse proxies, and PHP-FPM setups. Includes SSL best practices, gzip compression, security headers, and upstream blocks — updated in real time as you change options.
How to Use Nginx Config Generator — Performance-Optimized Server Configuration
How to Use the Nginx Config Generator
Step 1: Choose a Site Type
Select one of three site types at the top:
- Static Files — serves HTML, CSS, and JavaScript from a directory on disk (e.g. a React build output or a static site generator output)
- Reverse Proxy — proxies all requests to an upstream application server (Node.js, Python, Go, etc.)
- PHP-FPM — routes PHP files through FastCGI (suitable for WordPress, Laravel, and other PHP apps)
Step 2: Enter Your Domain and Paths
Fill in the domain name (e.g. example.com) and the relevant path or address for your site type:
- Static / PHP: document root directory on disk, e.g.
/var/www/mysite - Proxy: upstream address as
host:port, e.g.127.0.0.1:3000 - PHP: PHP-FPM socket path, e.g.
unix:/var/run/php/php8.2-fpm.sock
Step 3: Enable Options
Toggle the options that apply to your setup:
- SSL / HTTPS — adds an HTTP → HTTPS redirect block and TLS directives using Let's Encrypt certificate paths (run
certbot --nginxafter deploying) - Include www — adds
www.yourdomain.comtoserver_namein all blocks - Gzip compression — enables gzip with sensible defaults for web content types
- Security headers — adds X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, and (when SSL is on) HSTS
Step 4: Copy and Deploy
Click Copy to copy the generated config to your clipboard. Save it to /etc/nginx/sites-available/yourdomain.conf, then:
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/yourdomain.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
sudo nginx -t # verify syntax
sudo systemctl reload nginx
Presets
Use the preset buttons to quickly load a common setup:
- Static Site + SSL — HTML/CSS/JS with HTTPS, gzip, and security headers
- Node.js Proxy + SSL — Express/Next.js app behind nginx with SSL
- PHP / WordPress — PHP-FPM with WordPress permalink support
