Response Compression using .NET Core

Network bandwidth is a limited resource. Reducing the size of the response usually increases the responsiveness of an app, often dramatically. One way to reduce payload sizes is to compress........

In .NET Core, response compression can be implemented to reduce the size of HTTP responses sent from your server to clients. This can lead to faster load times and reduced bandwidth usage, especially for clients with slower network connections.

Here are the general steps to enable response compression in a .NET Core application:

Install the required NuGet packages: You need to install the Microsoft.AspNetCore.ResponseCompression package.

Configure Response Compression in Startup.cs: In the ConfigureServices method of your Startup class, add the following code to enable response compression:

Make sure to adjust the compression providers based on your requirements.

Use Response Compression Middleware in Configure method: In the Configure method of your Startup class, add the response compression middleware:

Placing app.UseResponseCompression(); before other middleware ensures that the response is compressed before it's sent to the client.

With these steps, your .NET Core application should now compress responses before sending them to clients. The middleware automatically checks the request headers and responds with compressed content if the client supports it.
