See Full FAQHTTP Compression is a technique where web servers compress resources before sending them to browsers, reducing data transfer size and improving load times. Common compression methods include Gzip, Brotli, and Deflate.
Compression significantly improves website performance by: Reducing bandwidth usage and costs Decreasing page load times Improving user experience Reducing server load Saving mobile data for users
The following file types benefit most from compression: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files Text files and documents XML and JSON data SVG images Web fonts Note: Already compressed files like JPG, PNG, or ZIP files should not be compressed again.
Compression can be enabled in various ways depending on your server: Apache: Use mod_deflate module Nginx: Use gzip directives IIS: Enable dynamic compression Node.js: Use compression middleware
Compression effectiveness varies by content type: Text files (HTML, CSS, JS): 60-80% reduction JSON/XML data: 70-90% reduction SVG images: 50-70% reduction Already compressed files: minimal reduction

About HTTP Compression
HTTP Compression is a crucial web performance optimization technique that reduces the size of web resources before transmission. By compressing text-based resources like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, websites can significantly reduce bandwidth usage and improve loading times.
Benefits of Compression
- Reduced bandwidth consumption
- Faster page load times
- Lower hosting costs
- Improved user experience
- Better mobile performance
Best Practices
- Enable compression for text-based files
- Use modern compression algorithms
- Configure proper caching headers
- Monitor compression ratios
- Regular performance testing
Implementation Tips
Start with enabling Gzip compression on your server, then consider upgrading to Brotli for better compression ratios. Always test compression settings in a staging environment first and monitor for any issues.
