Enable compression in your .NET Core application to improve performance and reduce bandwidth usage. Compression reduces the size of the response sent from the server to the client by compressing the content before sending it. This can significantly reduce the amount of data that needs to be transferred over the network, resulting in faster load times and reduced bandwidth usage. To enable compression in your .NET Core application, you can use the built-in middleware provided by the framework. The middleware can be added to the pipeline in the Startup.cs file. The middleware will automatically compress the response for all requests that meet the minimum size threshold. By default, the minimum size threshold is set to 2KB, but this can be configured in the middleware options. Here is an example of how to enable compression in your .NET Core application:

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
{
    app.UseResponseCompression();

    // other middleware
}

In the above example, the UseResponseCompression() method is called to add the compression middleware to the pipeline. The middleware will automatically compress the response for all requests that meet the minimum size threshold. You can also configure the middleware options to customize the compression settings, such as the minimum size threshold and the compression algorithm used.
