Optimize the Nginx server configuration to enhance website performance (e.g.,caching, gzip compression, etc.).

1. Gzip Compression and Browser Caching: Edit the Nginx configuration file:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

http { # ... other configurations ...

gzip on;
gzip_types application/javascript image/* text/css;
gzip_min_length 1000;

# ... other configurations ...

server {
    # ... server configurations ...

    location ~* \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|ico|css|js)$ {
        expires 1y;
        add_header Cache-Control "public, max-age=31536000";
        access_log off;
    }

    # ... other location blocks ...

    # ... server configurations ...
}
