👉 The gzip fluid, often referred to as gzip compression, is a method of compressing data using the GNU Generalized GNU Compression Library (GZLib). It works by reducing the size of files by encoding them with a lossless compression algorithm, which means the original data can be perfectly reconstructed from the compressed version. This process significantly decreases file sizes, making them more efficient for storage and transmission over networks. Gzip is widely used in web applications to compress HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and other resources, improving load times and reducing bandwidth usage.
