Enable HTTP2 on NGINX

[tbutler]

Is there a way to enable http2 by default on ea-nginx on WHM 94? I can go into each domain's .conf file in /etc/nginx/conf.d/ and add "http2" for connections to port 443, but this seems inefficient (and also at risk of being disabled with a future server update). I'm trying to wring every bit of server performance out of my system as possible -- web pages are loading too slowly -- and so adding http2 into the mix seems like a good idea... Thanks!

Hey there! I did some testing on my end and I'm not finding a good way to automate this work. One thing you can check is to make your changes and then run "/scripts/upcp --force" to see if they get overwritten.

This would be a great feature request if you wanted to submit one using the link in my signature.

@cPRex thank you! I'll submit that right now!

I can't seem to load yours at that link, @Kholodny. I had created one the day before and it apparently was never approved by the moderator, either. :-\

 

[cPRex]

I'll poke that team and make sure the first one gets approved :D

@cPRex Also Please add Brotli support for nginx

@Nirjonadda - I wish I had those magic powers! I'd recommend submitting a feature request if you'd like to see that added to the product.

Thanks - I've messaged our team that handles those so that will be approved soon.

Is this implemented in the new cPanel version with 100 atm? If not can it be done via /etc/nginx/nginx.conf globally?

Ignore my previous message:

I followed an article from cPanel that helped.

Procedure
To enable this globally, add a new file ending in .conf such as http2.conf to the Nginx configuration folder located in /etc/nginx/conf.d and add the following contents.



server {

listen 443 ssl http2;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;

}


Save the file and verify the Nginx configuration. Then, restart Nginx as well as PHP-FPM.

nginx -t

/scripts/restartsrv_nginx ; /scripts/restartsrv_apache_php_fpm

I then checked my file:
tail -f /var/log/nginx/access.log

and it showed:

HTTP/2.0

Even gtmetrix reported all is good now with http2

Thank you for this confirmation!

Excellent ! This is also working for me. cPanel should implemented http2 support for nginx by default.

@sahostking This edit http2.conf files will be removed after cPanel/nginx update. So cPanel should implemented http2 support for nginx by default.

I shared this idea 8 months ago. Maybe it's time to start reading customer suggestions and implementing them?)

My sincerest apologies for that oversight; things have been hectic with the recent AutoSSL issues. Could you let me know if the steps in the following article work for you? I am giving our dev team a poke about this being a highly requested implementation by default.

Does yours still show as http1.1 in Apache status?
I guess this is because when nginx is http2 Apache goes to 1
