Hi Christoph ,

I tried to place everything.jsp inside ngInx data folder and Inside config file ,
Inside location property , i used root directive for accessing from the location
something like below-

location = /o/frontend-js-web/ {
root /data/everything.jsp
}

I am sharing my current nginx config file -


worker_processes  1;

#error_log  logs/error.log;
#error_log  logs/error.log  notice;
#error_log  logs/error.log  info;

#pid        logs/nginx.pid;


events {
    worker_connections  1024;
}


http {
    include       mime.types;
    default_type  application/octet-stream;
	server_names_hash_bucket_size  64;


    server {
		listen 80;
		
		server_name local.education.com;
		return 301 https://local.education.com.com$request_uri;
	}
	   
	server {
			  listen                443 ssl;
			server_tokens        	off;
			server_name             local.education.com;

I didn't try it myself, but in theory it should be possible to cache everything.jsp. But I am not sure if it is worth it. I tried to cache lots of Liferay stuff before, but in general, the effort was high and the results were meh, when I measured it with a stresstest.

Putting the really, really important security fix aside that Olaf has mentioned, you should indeed consider upgrading to at least 7.0 GA6 (and apply the security fix!)

Early 7.0 performance was quite bad and it improved with each patch. 7.1 was okish. 7.0 brought a new architecture (which was good in a longterm sense, but bad for 7.0 performance). Later versions improved it.

7.3 has continued that trend, it is quite a bit faster than 7.0 (at least in my experience).

But can you show us your nginx config?

Did you create an extra location for everything.jsp? Have you set a cache key that honors the parameters? Something like e.g.:

proxy_cache_key $scheme$proxy_host$uri$is_args$args;

Low hanging fruit: As there are a couple of scripts loading through everything.jsp: Make sure you're not accidentally running in development mode (check your portal-ext.properties).

Also, to avoid stepping into issues that have long been fixed, consider upgrading at least to the latest GA in your major version, with this patch.

Hi Team ,

We are trying to increase performance of the site , In that work , we seen 1 problem with everything.jsp .
everything.jsp taking 3/4 of the time while loading . so we are trying to load this jsps code from NgInx server , so request will reduce to main server(tomcat) and content always load from the proxy server ( ngInx) .
But , we tried and we are getting the response always from tomcat server only .
How can we load everything.jsp from NgInx server ? so requests will reduces and performance will increase of the site .

adding below attachment to show the everything.jsps loading time :
