Description

Native Edge Side Includes for NGINX: per-fragment caching with independent TTLs using nothing but NGINX and `proxy_cache`. Cache a page shell for hours while a cart fragment stays uncached and a header fragment caches for a minute — the classic reason a Varnish instance sits in front of NGINX. Key Features: - `` resolved as an NGINX subrequest, so each fragment can point at a `location` with its own `proxy_cache` / `proxy_cache_valid` - Fragments fetched **concurrently**. Open-source Varnish Cache resolves ESI includes sequentially, with the head-of-line blocking that implies; parallel ESI is a Varnish Enterprise feature - `alt=` and `onerror="continue"` failover on a 4xx/5xx fragment - `esi:remove`, `esi:comment`, `esi:vars` markup stripping, `` unwrap; unknown `esi:` tags pass through verbatim rather than being guessed at, matching Varnish - `esi_plan` — memoises where a cached object's ESI constructs are into a shared zone, so a page is scanned once per object rather than once per delivery. Markup-dense cached pages go from 34-40% of `esi off` throughput to ~97% - `esi_stitch` — stores what each unchanged run of the page deflates to and emits those bytes instead of re-compressing the shell on every delivery, the way Varnish does. Moves the compression level off the hot path entirely - Gzipped upstreams need nothing configured: the module decodes what the `gunzip` filter declined to, and the assembled page is recompressed as usual Measured head-to-head against Varnish Cache OSS 7.6.5 on a dedicated 8-vCPU host, one core each, output verified byte-identical before timing: no row in the 24-row matrix is won by Varnish, with 2-6x less CPU per request. Pages with one fragment over a latent origin are a dead heat, which is the honest boundary — there is nothing to parallelise with a single include. Premium module by GetPageSpeed. To enable this module after installation, add the following to /etc/nginx/nginx.conf and reload NGINX: load_module modules/ngx_http_esi_filter_module.so; Alternatively, enable all installed modules by adding this line to the top of /etc/nginx/nginx.conf: include /usr/share/nginx/modules/*.conf;
