Performance and reliability in Express.js

October 2, 2016

Use gzip compression

var compression = require('compression')
var express = require('express')
var app = express()
app.use(compression())

Cache Assets for a long Time

app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public'), { maxAge: '30 days' }));
