    It will be faster of course, but measuring with webpagetest I got few ms faster, nothing that big

    Yeah but again you're looking at latency response times in isolation. I'm more talking about high concurrency user load throughput based latency/throughput.

    Perfect job (thread) what i want to see Thanks @rdan

    Btw, should we use the litespeed cache add-on even on nginx too ? i confused just for about that

    Or if xenforo 2 including session cookie naturally, why we need an add-on ? We can control the session cookie on nginx rules directly already ?!?

    Yes, just to have persistent cookie for Login Users.

    XenForo by default don't have persistent cookie.

    I've applied and i will see the differences.

    However, i worry about that parameter at http headers, is something wrong?

    Last thing is, if someone found clear a cache of page which modified /post new reply would be perfect as fastcgi cache. Because for now, guest visitors can't show the new posts which posted by members before cache timeout. So in this mean, i've set the cache time as 1hours and the thread cache will stay without updated with new posts so guests will not see the new posts.

    Is there any way for do it ? Actually i will go to custom development for it if possible.

    Because, if we use an add-on which clear the cached page by fastcgi when new reply(for thread pages), new thread(for forum node pages) so we may even set the cache time like up to 2-3 days. (except homepage)

    server and page load times will be more fresh then

    keys_zone=fastcgicache:256m

    but /var/run/nginx_fastcgi_cache directory size is 350 mb for now.

    Should i increase the keys_zone parameter value ? @rdan

    Ok sounds perfect, i applied.

    And for full clear the old caches;

    rm -rf /var/run/nginx_fastcgi_cache

    is correct command and enough ?

    I think no because i applied the code changes for style bug and nprestart, and still same page shows as dark style so i thought cached pages didn't cleared.

    I have problem still even i applied that.
    May be we miss something ?
    Like need prevent the url /misc/style? too ?

    My forum homepage cached with dark style now if i visit as guest, even i can't change the style with style switcher, it shows the dark style always until run the command rm -rf /var/run/nginx_fastcgi_cache so cache clears.
