+# ssl_session_cache:
+# - Creating a cache of TLS connection parameters reduces the number of handshakes 
+#   and thus can improve the performance of application.
+# - Default session cache is not optimal as it can be used by only one worker process
+#   and can cause memory fragmentation. It is much better to use shared cache.

+# ssl_session_timeout:
+# - Nginx by default it is set to 5 minutes which is very low.
+#   should be like 4h or 1d but will require you to increase the size of cache.
