[TUTORIAL] Increase website speed with SSL OCSP stapling

Increase website speed with SSL OCSP stapling

Yup.
This is easy.
I use Nginx so I'll go with that one. Apache tutorial will come later.

Now what is OCSP stapling?
No need for long words. Go 2 wikipedia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OCSP_stapling

Yeah it speed up the website. up to 30% increase in speed.
Now the problem is how to do it.

Here, I'm posting on the pretense that you already have SSL installed and operational on your Nginx Vhost Configuration.

Now go over to your vhost configuration.
it will be under /etc/nginx/sites-available/yourwebsite

Go directly under

Code: Select all

ssl_ciphers
Now type in

Code: Select all

i
to edit the configuration in VIM editor.

Insert this

Code: Select all

 ssl_stapling on;
        resolver 8.8.8.8;

Code: Select all

resolver 8.8.8.8;
means that google public DNS(fast as hell) will resolve your OCSP stapling.
You can use openDNS too.

Now restart Nginx.

Code: Select all

sudo service nginx restart
You'll be asked to enter your PEM key.
Enter it.

DONE!

Enjoy happy surfing with SSL OCSP stapling.
Cloudflare uses it too. But not everyone has enough to afford $20/mo(Gasp!).
