# Compress
|
|
|
|
Compress Allows Compressing Responses before Sending them to the Client
|
|
{: .subtitle }
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Compress middleware supports gzip and Brotli compression.
|
|
The activation of compression, and the compression method choice rely (among other things) on the request's `Accept-Encoding` header.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration Examples
|
|
|
|
```yaml tab="Docker"
|
|
# Enable compression
|
|
labels:
|
|
- "traefik.http.middlewares.test-compress.compress=true"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```yaml tab="Kubernetes"
|
|
# Enable compression
|
|
apiVersion: traefik.io/v1alpha1
|
|
kind: Middleware
|
|
metadata:
|
|
name: test-compress
|
|
spec:
|
|
compress: {}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```yaml tab="Consul Catalog"
|
|
# Enable compression
|
|
- "traefik.http.middlewares.test-compress.compress=true"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```yaml tab="File (YAML)"
|
|
# Enable compression
|
|
http:
|
|
middlewares:
|
|
test-compress:
|
|
compress: {}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```toml tab="File (TOML)"
|
|
# Enable compression
|
|
[http.middlewares]
|
|
[http.middlewares.test-compress.compress]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
!!! info
|
|
|
|
Responses are compressed when the following criteria are all met:
|
|
|
|
* The `Accept-Encoding` request header contains `gzip`, `*`, and/or `br` with or without [quality values](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Quality_values).
|
|
If the `Accept-Encoding` request header is absent, it is meant as br compression is requested.
|
|
If it is present, but its value is the empty string, then compression is disabled.
|
|
* The response is not already compressed, i.e. the `Content-Encoding` response header is not already set.
|
|
* The response`Content-Type` header is not one among the [excludedContentTypes options](#excludedcontenttypes).
|
|
* The response body is larger than the [configured minimum amount of bytes](#minresponsebodybytes) (default is `1024`).
|
|
|
|
## Configuration Options
|
|
|
|
### `excludedContentTypes`
|
|
|
|
_Optional, Default=""_
|
|
|
|
`excludedContentTypes` specifies a list of content types to compare the `Content-Type` header of the incoming requests and responses before compressing.
|
|
|
|
The responses with content types defined in `excludedContentTypes` are not compressed.
|
|
|
|
Content types are compared in a case-insensitive, whitespace-ignored manner.
|
|
|
|
!!! info "In the case of gzip"
|
|
|
|
If the `Content-Type` header is not defined, or empty, the compress middleware will automatically [detect](https://mimesniff.spec.whatwg.org/) a content type.
|
|
It will also set the `Content-Type` header according to the detected MIME type.
|
|
|
|
!!! info "gRPC"
|
|
|
|
Note that `application/grpc` is never compressed.
|
|
|
|
```yaml tab="Docker"
|
|
labels:
|
|
- "traefik.http.middlewares.test-compress.compress.excludedcontenttypes=text/event-stream"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```yaml tab="Kubernetes"
|
|
apiVersion: traefik.io/v1alpha1
|
|
kind: Middleware
|
|
metadata:
|
|
name: test-compress
|
|
spec:

|
|

|
|

```
|
|
|
|
```toml tab="File (TOML)"
|
|
[http.middlewares]
|
|
[http.middlewares.test-compress.compress]
|
|
excludedContentTypes = ["text/event-stream"]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### `minResponseBodyBytes`
|
|
|
|
_Optional, Default=1024_
|
|
|
|
`minResponseBodyBytes` specifies the minimum amount of bytes a response body must have to be compressed.
|
|
|
|
Responses smaller than the specified values will not be compressed.
|
|
|
|
```yaml tab="Docker"
|
|
labels:
|
|
- "traefik.http.middlewares.test-compress.compress.minresponsebodybytes=1200"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```yaml tab="Kubernetes"
|
|
apiVersion: traefik.io/v1alpha1
|
|

|
|

|
