TCPWave: Breaking the bandwidth barrier for ultimate performance
We offer a powerful HTTP compression feature that allows you to delegate the task of compression from the backend web server. By utilizing HTTP compression setup, you can significantly improve performance and optimize data transfer on your virtual server.

When a client sends an incoming request, the TCPWave system examines the Accept-Encoding header to determine the preferred method of encoding. It removes the Accept-Encoding header before forwarding the request to the pool member.
After receiving the response from the pool member, the system compresses the data using the specified compression algorithm in the profile. It then reintroduces the Content-Encoding header, indicating the applied compression.
The SLB effectively serves as an HTTP compressor, reducing the content length to a fraction of its original size. For example, it can achieve a 75% reduction in content length, which translates to significant savings, especially when multiplied by the thousands of requests received by a busy website. This demonstrates the tangible benefits of implementing HTTP compression.
To achieve the best results, you can tailor the compression settings based on your specific content types. By utilizing Linux regular expressions, you can compress various types of content. Here are a few examples:
- "application/(xml|javascript|json)": Compress XML, JavaScript, or JSON content.
- ".*.pdf": Compress PDF files.
- "text/css": Compress CSS files.
Our load balancers support various compression techniques like gzip, deflate. These techniques use dictionary-based compression and Huffman encoding to reduce data transmission, optimizing performance.
Our load balancers' HTTP compression benefits data-heavy websites and applications like media files. It compresses content types like text/css, text/html, text/javascript, and more.
To enable compression in our load balancer for a specific application, you can activate it at the virtual server or pool level. We offer adaptive standard compression, auto-tuning settings based on resources and clients. Or choose customizable compression for precise control, defining filters and levels for various clients or groups.
TCPWave load balancer's HTTP compression feature provides a powerful solution for enhancing website performance and optimizing data transfer. By effectively reducing the size of transferred data, HTTP compression minimizes bandwidth requirements, leading to faster data transmission and improved storage optimization. Leveraging our load balancer's compression capabilities, you can significantly enhance the speed and efficiency of your web applications and provide an exceptional user experience.
