Specify a Vary: Accept-Encoding header

[Philip Rhoades]

People,

I have moved my (very low hit) web sites from a Digital Ocean server to 
my own Fedora 25 x86-64 server with 8GB RAM and an ADSL2+ upload speed 
of only about 1Mbit/sec.

The plain HTML and Jekyll sites response times are not too bad but the 
Rails sites are very slow.

Using:

   https://tools.pingdom.com

takes more than a minute to test one of my Rails sites:

   http://cryonics.org.au

so it appears that I need to do something for all the Rails sites at 
least but ALL sites report a value of 50 or less for the condition in 
the Subject of this mail - I tried putting:

   gzip on;
   gzip_min_length  1100;
   gzip_buffers  4 32k;
   gzip_types    text/plain application/x-javascript text/xml text/css;
   gzip_vary on;

in the nginx server conf for cryonics.org.au and restarted nginx but it 
did not make any difference.

Suggestions about how to improve the situation?

Thanks,

Phil.
