The high-performance, efficient HTTP processing engine in NGINX Plus handles desktop, mobile, and API traffic equally well before switching and routing each request to the correct service. Companies deploy NGINX Plus to manage the complexities and pitfalls associated with HTTP and to make their web applications more responsive, scalable, fast, and secure.
Nginx [pronounced “engine x”] is an HTTP and reverse proxy server, a mail proxy server, and a generic TCP/UDP proxy server. As of September 2016, NGINX was running over 30% of all web servers worldwide.
Nginx can be deployed to serve dynamic HTTP content on the network using FastCGI, SCGI handlers for scripts, and it can serve as a software load balancer. Nginx uses an asynchronous event-driven approach to handling requests. Nginx’s modular event-driven architecture[9] can provide more predictable performance under high loads.
QuikSite uses NGINX as a reverse proxy web server to Apache. This increases performance of handling dynamic and static web content, load balancing, compression, and caching..
