gzip_​response

Behavior name: Last Mile Acceleration (Gzip Compression)

Apply gzip compression to speed transfer time. This behavior applies best to text-based content such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, especially once files exceed about 10KB. Do not apply it to already compressed image formats, or to small files that would add more time to uncompress. To apply this behavior, you should match on content_type or the content's cacheability.
