The engine behind the world's fastest websites
Nginx is the web server that powers over 30% of all websites on the internet, including giants like Netflix, Dropbox, and WordPress.com. It handles everything from serving your site's pages to managing traffic spikes — all while using very little memory.
What makes Nginx worth launching.
Serves your site's pages and files with incredible speed, even when thousands of visitors arrive at once.
Keeps your website running smoothly during sudden surges in visitors without slowing down or crashing.
Protects your site with SSL/TLS encryption, access controls, and protection against common web threats.
If you fit one of these, Nginx is probably built for you.
Practical scenarios where Nginx makes a real difference.
Get your blog, portfolio, or online resume up and running with a server that keeps pages loading fast for every visitor.
Run the backend for your web app on a server known for handling high traffic, acting as a reverse proxy, and balancing loads effortlessly.
