# Compress
Compress Responses before Sending them to the Client
{: .subtitle }
![Compress](../assets/img/middleware/compress.png)
The Compress middleware uses gzip compression.
## Configuration Examples
```yaml tab="Docker"
# Enable gzip compression
labels:
- "traefik.http.middlewares.test-compress.compress=true"
```
```yaml tab="Kubernetes"
# Enable gzip compression
apiVersion: traefik.containo.us/v1alpha1
kind: Middleware
metadata:
name: test-compress
spec:
compress: {}
```
```yaml tab="Consul Catalog"
# Enable gzip compression
- "traefik.http.middlewares.test-compress.compress=true"
```
```json tab="Marathon"
"labels": {
"traefik.http.middlewares.test-compress.compress": "true"
}
```
```yaml tab="Rancher"
# Enable gzip compression
labels:
- "traefik.http.middlewares.test-compress.compress=true"
```
```toml tab="File (TOML)"
# Enable gzip compression
[http.middlewares]
[http.middlewares.test-compress.compress]
```
```yaml tab="File (YAML)"
# Enable gzip compression
http:
middlewares:
test-compress:
compress: {}
```
!!! info
Responses are compressed when the following criteria are all met:
* The response body is larger than `1400` bytes.
* The `Accept-Encoding` request header contains `gzip`.
* The response is not already compressed, i.e. the `Content-Encoding` response header is not already set.
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.
## Configuration Options
### `excludedContentTypes`
`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.
```yaml tab="Docker"
labels:
- "traefik.http.middlewares.test-compress.compress.excludedcontenttypes=text/event-stream"
```
```yaml tab="Kubernetes"
apiVersion: traefik.containo.us/v1alpha1
kind: Middleware
metadata:
name: test-compress
spec:
compress:
excludedContentTypes:
- text/event-stream
```
```yaml tab="Consul Catalog"

```
```json tab="Marathon"
