# Compression

Compression can greatly decrease the size of the response body, thereby increasing the speed of a web app.

For high-traffic websites in production, it is strongly recommended to offload compression from the application server - typically in a reverse proxy (e.g., Nginx). In that case, you should not use compression middleware.

As Danet uses Oak under the hood, you can use oak_compress package.

Then, apply its middleware as global middleware (for example, in your bootstrap.ts file).

import { brotli } from "https://deno.land/x/oak_compress/mod.ts";

const app = new DanetApplication();
app.addGlobalMiddlewares(brotli());
// app.addGlobalMiddlewares(gzip());
// app.addGlobalMiddlewares(deflate());
