Problem

The API does not compress the (json) response. This leads to high traffic and increased loading times.

Example

Statistics URL: https://w3champions.com/OverallStatistics/

API Requests:

https://website-backend.w3champions.com/api/w3c-stats/map-race-wins
- Traffic 2.769 KiB
- Potential saving: 2.284 KiB
https://website-backend.w3champions.com/api/w3c-stats/games-per-day
- Traffic: 490 KiB
- Potential saving: 460 KiB

Source test result:
https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/https-w3champions-com-OverallStatistics/7jpdz9z2je?form_factor=mobile

Possible solution

A) Enable compression at the proxy

website/docker-compose.token.yml

Lines 23 to 26 in 76c877e

    
           networks: 
        
             default: 
        
               external: 
        
                 name: nginx-proxy

Remove compression by frontend container: https://github.com/w3champions/website/blob/master/gzip.conf

B) Use Cloudflare (uses compression by default)
