Using 'enable' instead of 'on' causes syntax errors.

Using 'true' is not valid in nginx configuration.

Setting gzip on; enables gzip compression in nginx.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Choosing a value too low or too high changes compression behavior.

Using non-numeric values causes errors.

The gzip_min_length directive sets the minimum length of a response to be compressed. Here, 1000 bytes is the correct value.

hard

Fix the error in the gzip_types directive to compress text and JSON files.

Nginx

gzip_types [1];

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Btext/plain, application/json

Ctext/plain; application/json

Dtext/plain|application/json

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using commas or semicolons causes nginx to fail parsing.

Using pipes is not valid syntax.

In nginx, gzip_types lists MIME types separated by spaces without commas or other punctuation.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to set gzip compression level to maximum and disable it for MSIE browsers.

Nginx

gzip_comp_level [1];
gzip_disable "[2]";

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using compression levels outside 1-9 causes errors.

Disabling gzip for wrong browsers has no effect.

The gzip_comp_level directive sets compression level from 1 (lowest) to 9 (highest). To disable gzip for MSIE browsers, use gzip_disable "MSIE";.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to enable gzip, set minimum length to 500, and compress HTML files.

Nginx

gzip [1];
gzip_min_length [2];
gzip_types [3];

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Aon

B500

Ctext/html

Doff

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Forgetting to enable gzip disables compression.

Using wrong MIME types prevents compression of desired files.

Enable gzip with on, set minimum length to 500 bytes, and compress HTML files by specifying text/html in gzip_types.
