### Description Per https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/33501, "Obviously the smaller the resources, the faster they will arrive in the browser. Currently we're not compressing HTML responses. Even with low `gzip` compression levels, we could be speeding up page loads, particularly on slow connections." ### Proposal - Investigate if it makes sense to compress HTML responses, and if yes: do it. ### Links / references ### Documentation blurb (Write the start of the documentation of this feature here, include: 1. Why should someone use it; what's the underlying problem. 2. What is the solution. 3. How does someone use this During implementation, this can then be copied and used as a starter for the documentation.)
