nginx complements Apache in a dual web server configuration. Apache, the most common web server on Linux, is very capable, but nginx is faster and more efficient at serving static resources, such as images. When running alongside each other, content is provided by the web server best suited to that content type, so you should find that your site runs faster whilst using less resource. Some sites are better suited to this setup than others, and gains will be more noticeable on some sites than others. Talk to us if you’re unsure about the best configuration for your site.
