On-the-fly Compression Techniques
As the name of the technique suggests, here the CDN providers try to compress the existing dynamic content and then send this compressed form over the network, thus improving the performance of the website by reducing that overall data that needs to be sent from the origin server to the client user.
In general cases, the compression is used using gunzip or other formats, which reduce the dynamic non-cacheable content to almost 20% of its original size. Apart from this, to ensure that the compression does not overload the origin server and reduce its performance, the compression happens in the CDN cloud after the content is transmitted from the origin server.
Most of the modern browsers support these compressed forms of text objects like HTML, CSS and JS, thus allowing CDN providers to use the compression as a powerful Dynamic Site Accelerator tool.
