re discord, someone with a fairly standard setup (cpp behind nginx)
found that switching from HTTP/2 to HTTP/1.1 made it 5x faster

* or do location-based proxying, using `--rp-loc=/stuff` to tell copyparty where it is mounted -- has a slight performance cost and higher chance of bugs
* if copyparty says `incorrect --rp-loc or webserver config; expected vpath starting with [...]` it's likely because the webserver is stripping away the proxy location from the request URLs -- see the `ProxyPass` in the apache example below
some reverse proxies (such as [Caddy](https://caddyserver.com/)) can automatically obtain a valid https/tls certificate for you, and some support HTTP/2 and QUIC which could be a nice speed boost
* **warning:** nginx-QUIC is still experimental and can make uploads much slower, so HTTP/2 is recommended for now

below are some tweaks roughly ordered by usefulness:
* disabling HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 can make uploads 5x faster, depending on server/client software
* `-q` disables logging and can help a bunch, even when combined with `-lo` to redirect logs to file
* `--hist` pointing to a fast location (ssd) will make directory listings and searches faster when `-e2d` or `-e2t` is set
* and also makes thumbnails load faster, regardless of e2d/e2t

both HTTP and HTTPS are accepted by default, but letting a [reverse proxy](#reverse-proxy) handle the https/tls/ssl would be better (probably more secure by default)
copyparty doesn't speak HTTP/2 or QUIC, so using a reverse proxy would solve that as well
