HTTP compression

HTTP compression is a process that reduces the size of data sent between a web server and your browser. When you visit a website, the server often compresses files like images, scripts, or text, making them smaller. This helps pages load faster and uses less data, especially on slow or limited internet connections. Your browser then decompresses the data to display the website normally. Think of it like packing a suitcase efficiently: smaller packages mean quicker delivery and less space used, improving your browsing experience.
