Autoptimize and Nginx

    Hello

    After activating Autoptimize, a file .htaccess is created in the cache folder.

    When using Nginx as the only webserver, the file will be ignored.

    Does this mean Autopimize will be broken, and/or not be as fast, and/or not be secure with Nginx ? and if so do you have a guide for the equivilent of below for Nginx

    Thanks very much

    contents of …./autopimize/cache/.htaccess

    <IfModule mod_expires.c>
    ExpiresActive On
    ExpiresByType text/css A30672000
    ExpiresByType text/javascript A30672000
    ExpiresByType application/javascript A30672000
    </IfModule>
    <IfModule mod_headers.c>
    Header append Cache-Control “public, immutable”
    </IfModule>
    <IfModule mod_deflate.c>
    <FilesMatch “\.(js|css)$”>
    SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
    </FilesMatch>
    </IfModule>
    <IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
    <Files *.php>
    Require all denied
    </Files>
    </IfModule>
    <IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
    <Files *.php>
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    </Files>
    </IfModule>
    ErrorDocument 404 /wp-content/autoptimize_404_handler.php`

    * security: no issues
    * performance: you’ll have to ensure that compression (gzip/ deflate/ br) of CSS/ JS (and other files) are configured in nginx
    * for the 404 handler: either make sure 404’s are handled by WordPress OR use the code snippet example in the AO FAQ ??

    hope this clarifies,

    Hello Frank

    As usual, top drawer support, thank you.

    Autopimize is just about the best supported WordPress plugin, it’s little wonder that Autopimize has been a massiver success !!

    Should have read the manual, of course ! Understand the 404 handler now.

    Have to admit, never used “immutable” for caching before…..

    Thanks again for the brilliant support, highly appreciated

    you’re welcome treecutter ??

    Hello I see your Nginx example but I think not required. And, messy if we must put new rules for every WP plugins.

    Only this: 

    location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
....

    is enough to make WordPress control the 404 error handling. And Autoptimize already hooked to handle template 404 I think.

    that is proper and clean way for logical handling. htaccess is very messy and Nginx has single (easy) config.
