cache directives question using proxy

[leonep]

Hi,
on apache include editor some years ago i add this directives for cache:


<filesMatch ".(css|jpg|jpeg|png|gif|webp|xml|js|ico)$">
Header set Cache-Control: "max-age=31536000, public"
</filesMatch>
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive On
# Images
ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 1 year"
ExpiresByType image/jpg "access plus 1 year"
ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 1 year"
ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 1 year"
ExpiresByType image/webp "access plus 1 year"
ExpiresByType image/svg+xml "access plus 1 year"
ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access plus 1 year"
# Video
ExpiresByType video/mp4 "access plus 1 year"
ExpiresByType video/mpeg "access plus 1 year"
# CSS, JavaScript
ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType text/javascript "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType application/javascript "access plus 1 month"
# Others
ExpiresByType application/pdf "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash "access plus 1 month"
</IfModule>


when I installed the nginx proxy I was wondering if it is still necessary to keep these directives on apache or if it is better to put them in nginx.
thanks for info

cPanel's nginx implementations proxies all traffic to Apache, so you're fine to leave those in place. For a true test if nginx is providing you with performance improvements, I would try removing those and seeing how nginx behaves, and then adding them back and seeing if you can tell a difference.

it works well
i only want to know if i need to use also apache mod_cache and apache mod_cache_disk if i am using nginx cache.....
can i have benefits from both ???
i use my server for basic cms hosting
thanks

There's no reason you have to use it. In fact, some people say the extra caching from mod_cache can actually slow things down since nginx already handles caching of requests.
