Is your site static or dynamic? If your site is made of good old HTML and CSS or your site is a SPA, any web server will serve it well.
I prefer Nginx as it is performant and versatile enough for most use cases.
Static mostly, I will have a few dynamic pages though.
If your dynamic pages leverage PHP, Nginx can be configured to support that via FastCGI. If your site has its own server runtime (e.g. a site written with NodeJS or Go), Nginx reverse proxy is literally its strength. So yeah give Nginx a try. I bet you won't regret it.
