# ✨ [NGINX Config](https://do.co/nginxconfig)

NGINX is so much more than just a webserver. You already knew that, probably.

We love NGINX, because:
* Low memory usage
* High concurrency
* Asynchronous event-driven architecture
* Load balancing
* Reverse proxying
* FastCGI support with caching (PHP)
* Amazing fast handling of static files
* TLS/SSL with SNI

A lot of features with corresponding configuration directives.
You can deep dive into the [NGINX documentation](http://nginx.org/en/docs/) right now OR you can [use this tool](https://do.co/nginxconfig) to check
how NGINX works, observe how your inputs are affecting the output, and **generate the best config for your specific
use-case** (in parallel you can also still use the docs).

## 🚀 Usage

`GOTO` **[`do.co/nginxconfig`](https://do.co/nginxconfig)**

**Features:**
HTTPS, HTTP/2, IPv6, certbot, HSTS, security headers, SSL profiles, OCSP resolvers, caching, gzip, brotli, fallback
routing, reverse proxy, www/non-www redirect, CDN, PHP (TCP/socket, WordPress, Drupal, Magento, Joomla), Node.js support, Python
(Django) server, etc.
