    use epoll;
    multi_accept on;
}

http {
    # Gzip compression
    gzip on;
    gzip_vary on;
    gzip_proxied any;
    gzip_comp_level 6;
    gzip_types text/plain text/css text/xml text/javascript 
               application/json application/javascript application/xml+rss 
               application/rss+xml font/truetype font/opentype 
               application/vnd.ms-fontobject image/svg+xml;
    
    # Brotli (nếu có module)
    brotli on;
    brotli_comp_level 6;
    brotli_types text/plain text/css application/json application/javascript;
    
    # Client body buffer
    client_body_buffer_size 128k;
    client_max_body_size 64m;
    
    # Timeouts
    client_body_timeout 12;
    client_header_timeout 12;
    keepalive_timeout 15;
    send_timeout 10;
    
    # FastCGI cache (WordPress/PHP)
    fastcgi_cache_path /tmp/nginx_cache levels=1:2 keys_zone=WORDPRESS:100m inactive=60m;
    fastcgi_cache_key "$scheme$request_method$host$request_uri";
}
