Nginx caching settings displayed in the Plesk interface correspond to
nginx directives and certain records in the nginx configuration file.
You can see the details in the table below.
| Nginx microcaching setting displayed in the Plesk GUI | The corresponding nginx directive | The corresponding nginx parameter (if any) |
|---|---|---|
| “Cache size“ | proxy_cache_path | max_size |
| “Cache timeout“ | proxy_cache_valid | |
| “Cache key“ | proxy_cache_key | |
| “Cache requests with cookies“ | Specified in the nginx configuration file | |
| “Disable caching for locations“ | Specified in the nginx configuration file | |
| “Bypass cache when” | proxy_cache_bypass | |
| “Return stale cached records” | proxy_cache_use_stale |
Note: For websites using nginx in tandem with the PHP-FPM handler,
proxy_cache* directives are replaced with fastcgi_cache*. For
example, the “Cache key“ setting is governed by the
fastcgi_cache_key directive instead of proxy_cache_key.
