After a year of development, a new stable branch of the high-performance HTTP server and multi-protocol proxy server nginx 1.28.0 has been released, incorporating changes accumulated in the main branch 1.27.x. In the future, all changes in the stable branch 1.28 will focus on fixing serious bugs and vulnerabilities. Soon, the main branch nginx 1.29 will be formed, in which the development of new features will continue. For regular users who do not need to ensure compatibility with third-party modules, it is recommended to use the main branch, based on which commercial product Nginx Plus releases are created every three months. <\/p>\n
According to the March report from Netcraft, there are about 245 million sites running under nginx (245 million a year ago, 289 million two years ago). Nginx is used on 17.89% of all active sites (18.15% a year ago, 18.94% two years ago), holding the top position in popularity in this category (the share of Apache is 16.03% (20.09% a year ago, 20.52% two years ago), Cloudflare \u2014 17.81% (14.12%, 11.32%), Google \u2014 9.89% (10.41%, 9.89%). <\/p>\n
When considering all sites, nginx maintains its leadership with a market share of 20.48% (22.31% a year ago, 25.94% two years ago), while the share of Apache is 16.03% (20.17%, 20.58%), Cloudflare \u2014 12.87% (11.24%, 10.17%), OpenResty (a platform based on nginx and LuaJIT) \u2014 9.36% (7.93%, 7.94%). <\/p>\n
Among the million most visited sites in the world, nginx ranks second with a share of 20.37% (20.63% a year ago, 21.37% two years ago). The first place is held by Cloudflare \u2014 22.32% (22.59% a year ago, 21.62% two years ago). The share of Apache httpd is 17.95% (20.09%, 21.18%). <\/p>\n
According to W3Techs, nginx is used on 33.8% of the million most visited sites (in April last year, this figure was 34.3%, and the year before that \u2014 34.5%). The share of Apache decreased from 30.1% to 26.3% over the year, while the share of Microsoft IIS dropped from 5% to 4%. The share of Node.js increased from 3.2% to 4.4%, and the share of LiteSpeed went up from 12.9% to 14.6%. <\/p>\n
The most notable improvements added during the formation of the main branch 1.27.x: <\/p>\n
\n
Support for the CUBIC congestion control algorithm (RFC 9438) has been added for connections using the QUIC protocol. CUBIC works by gradually increasing the congestion window size until packet loss occurs, at which point the window size reverts to the value before the loss. In conducted tests, using CUBIC reduced the transfer time of a 500MB file by 24% at 40ms latency and BDP 750K (Bandwidth Delay Product), and by 73% at 100ms latency and BDP 9M. <\/li>\n
The stream module now includes support for client certificate revocation checking using the OCSP (Online Certificate Status Protocol).\n
The stream module implements OCSP Stapling, which allows the server serving the website to send the OCSP response, signed by a certification authority, during the TLS handshake without requiring a direct request to the certification authority.\n
