why is http not compressed? you would write page normally in html but server would send compressed version, browser would decompress and all that shit, http is pure text it would make site size 99% smaller

It is though, 99% of web pages you encouter are compressed through gzip.
>>56952962
how about 4chan?
>>56952979
Yes, even 4chan. (Look at the "size" and "transferred" fields in the pic)
It is.
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Encoding: gzip
You're using it right now.
>>56952948
Retard.
>>56952948
99% percent smaller of very small is still pretty insignificant. Unoptimized images and cancerous JS are what is killing the web.
>>56955350
JS too is text.

But, unlike HTML, even compressed and optimized it still can take megabytes to load on shitty sites.
