Output compression

Reduce response payload size with GZIP compression to improve search response times.

When a query returns many results and filter options, the amount of data returned by FactFinder grows quickly. Network transfer time can then become a significant part of the total response time.

If the web server supports it, the response can be compressed with GZIP to reduce the data volume significantly.

Depending on the programming language you use, the client may also need to support this compression method explicitly. To request compressed output, send the value gzip in the Accept-Encoding request header.
