Is compression effective?
Precisions
The volume of data transferred increases the environmental footprint of the service, because the data is also stored, secured with duplication, backed up. Some data formats can be compressed to reduce their size, since the compression operation requires computation and intermediate storage resources, it is more efficient for the data to be available in compressed form.
Use Case
Browser tools/consoles allow to check data transfer, size & frequency (CHROME: console / network)
