🚀 BWS Web Server - Compression Test Page

About BWS (Blazing Web Server)

BWS is a high-performance, multi-site web server built with Rust and the Pingora framework. It provides enterprise-grade features including SSL/TLS support with automatic certificate management, reverse proxy capabilities, load balancing, and now advanced compression support.

🗜️ Compression Features

• Gzip Compression: Fast and widely supported compression algorithm
• Brotli Compression: Modern compression with better ratios than gzip
• Deflate Compression: Legacy support for older clients
• Smart Content-Type Detection: Only compresses appropriate file types
• Configurable Compression Levels: Balance between speed and compression ratio
• Minimum Size Threshold: Avoid compressing small files that don't benefit

Configuration Example

Here's how to configure compression in your BWS config.toml:

Technical Details

BWS compression middleware works by:

1. Analyzing the client's Accept-Encoding header to determine supported algorithms
2. Checking if the content type is in the configured list of compressible types
3. Verifying the content size meets the minimum threshold for compression
4. Selecting the best available compression method (Brotli > Gzip > Deflate)
5. Compressing the content using the selected algorithm at the configured level
6. Adding appropriate response headers (Content-Encoding, Vary)

Performance Benefits

Compression can provide significant benefits:

• Reduced Bandwidth: Text files often compress by 60-80%
• Faster Page Load Times: Smaller downloads mean faster rendering
• Lower Server Costs: Reduced bandwidth usage saves money
• Better User Experience: Especially important on mobile networks
• SEO Benefits: Google considers page speed in rankings

Benchmarking Results

BWS has been benchmarked against popular web servers like Nginx and Caddy, showing competitive performance while providing additional features and ease of configuration.

Recent benchmark results show BWS achieving 17,721 requests/second compared to Nginx's 18,076 requests/second - a difference of only ~2%!
