This is a basic nginx file meant to be modified and tinkered with. Out of the box you get SSL requests compressed with Brotli (falling back to gzip when Brotli is unavailable) passed to PHP7 FPM. Make sure to replace servername.com with your FQDS.
Brotli is a compression algorithm released by Google that is useful for decreasing the size of text files transmitted for HTTP. Brotli's compression ratio is about 20-30% higher than that of gzip.
You will need to compile nginx with the nginx Brotli module to use this configuration file.
