A text-based file (like CSS, JavaScript, or HTML) is being served without compression. This means the file is larger than it needs to be, which increases download times. Enabling compression (like Gzip or Brotli) is a standard server-side optimization that can significantly reduce file sizes.
Your server is sending a 100KB JavaScript file without any compression.
Configure your web server (like Apache or Nginx) to automatically compress text-based resources using Gzip or, preferably, Brotli. This is a standard server configuration.
Compression can reduce the size of text files by up to 70-80%. This leads to much faster download times, especially for users on slower connections, and is a critical performance optimization.
This issue can affect your site's search engine rankings and user experience. Addressing it promptly helps ensure optimal performance and visibility in search results.
