Improve page load speed on Nginx and Apache - TIME_WAIT issue

Problem: You see that there are lot of TIME_WAIT connections associated with the Apache and Nginx (or any webserver for that matter) webservers.

Possible Solution: To reduce the number of TIME_WAIT connections, we have done the following changes in /etc/sysctl.conf:

net.ipv4.tcp_tw_reuse=1
net.ipv4.tcp_tw_recycle=1

Then run 'sysctl -p' (no quotes) as root to reload the sysctl file without a reboot. Be sure to backup the sysctl.conf file before making changes to it.
