This sounds great! Just make sure to check the
Accept-Encodingrequest header to only use encoding with supported browsers.terreng commentedon Apr 1, 2022
I've added the HTTP compression option to the UI and the documentation (and renamed the option to
compression). I made a slight change to handlers.js.Unfortunately, now that I am trying it out, I'm finding that it's unbearably slow. Even on my machine. Is there any way to speed this up? Otherwise I don't think we should ship this feature. Maybe once we are using Tauri and running a more native web server it'll perform better.

Yeah it is really really slow, theres nothing we can do to speed it up. It's your choice whether we include this feature.

I've removed the option from the UI and documentation, but it's still accessible by manually editing config.json. We can revisit this option later, but I'm closing this issue for now.
