Quick Answer
Dynamic response compression: UseResponseCompression() with GzipCompressionProvider and BrotliCompressionProvider. Client sends Accept-Encoding: gzip, br. Middleware picks best supported encoding. Set compression level: Fastest (less CPU, larger), Optimal (balance). Apply only to compressible content types (JSON, HTML, text). Minimum response size threshold to avoid compressing tiny responses.
Answer
Response compression improves performance for large payloads:
Enable AddResponseCompression() middleware.
Use Gzip or Brotli for optimal compression ratios.
Whitelisted MIME types ensure only necessary content is compressed.
Compression reduces bandwidth use and improves client response times.
