[Feat]: Compressed WASM package

[TylerBloom]

Description:

Currently, the WASM module that is delivered for the webapp is uncompressed. While we have taken some steps to reduce the size of the WASM payload via compile-time optimizations, we can do better. It currently takes a few seconds to initially load into the webapp.

The solution you'd like:

After compiling the WASM module, we should compress it (via something like gz). Locally, I have seen a massive reduction: going from a 5-6 MB file to a ~1.5 MB file.

Alternatives:

While not exactly an alternative, we should pursue ways to reduce the size of the WASM module itself.

Looking into this!
