Unexpected Gzip Compression implementing Nginx and React App Deployment
I'm building a feature where I've spent hours debugging this and I'm working with a puzzling scenario while trying to deploy my React application on an Nginx server. I configured Nginx to enable gzip compression for the static assets to improve loading times, but it appears that the compressed files are not being served correctly. Instead of receiving the expected compressed files, my browser is displaying the raw files without compression. Here's the relevant part of my Nginx configuration: ```nginx server { listen 80; server_name myapp.com; root /var/www/myapp/build; index index.html; location / { try_files $uri /index.html; } gzip on; gzip_types text/css application/javascript application/json; gzip_min_length 256; } ``` I've also confirmed that the build process for my React app is correctly creating the static files. However, when I check the response headers in my browser's developer tools, I notice that the `Content-Encoding` header is missing. This leads me to believe that the Gzip compression isn't being applied, or perhaps Nginx isn't set up to serve the compressed files properly. I've restarted the Nginx service after making changes to the configuration, and I’ve also cleared the browser cache to ensure I'm not seeing cached versions of the files. Additionally, I checked the permissions on the `/var/www/myapp/build` directory to ensure that Nginx has the necessary read access to the files. In the Nginx behavior logs, I don’t see any relevant behavior messages that could indicate what might be wrong. I would appreciate any insights into what could be causing this scenario or if there's a missing configuration that I might have overlooked. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! I'd really appreciate any guidance on this.
