GZIP

GZIP is a software tool used to compress files to reduce their size, making them easier and faster to store or transfer over the internet. It works by finding and removing repetitive patterns in the data, which allows for significant space savings. When you download a GZIP-compressed file, it is automatically decompressed by your software for you to use. This compression process helps speed up website loading times, saving bandwidth and improving user experiences. GZIP is commonly used in web applications to enhance performance and efficiency.
