Browser caching

[samsls]

Hello there!
First, big up for the team behind Cloudron!

I'd like to activate browser caching into wordpress developper app. Is it possible? How?
Thanks in advance.

@samsls Just install the jetpack plugin or other similar cache plugin as you would normally in wordpress.

@murgero I'm using hummingbird but it asks to modify nginx.conf. That I do normally but in cloudron i'm lost.

@samsls Wordpress app does not run on nginx - you will need to use a different plugin for caching. I usually recommend jetpack as it's the official plugin by the wordpress organization.

@murgero hummingbird comes from WPMU dev but it's the same.
Since i can apply conf to apache, I did what you said and it works so far.
By the way, if i understand correctly, wordpress dev runs behind apache and there is ngninx as reverse proxy?

That's correct

@girish Out of curiosity, is there a performance hit/difference when using Nginx as a reverse proxy vs running WP directly on Nginx?

@humptydumpty adding another layer will have some performance impact but it should be barely noticeable (plus the security benefits of such a setup are immense). nginx does nothing other than https <-> http on Cloudron.
