đ Yesterday, I released version 1.2.0 of my new package, django-http-compression.
It includes a big change to only apply compression to known-compressible content types, like HTML or JSON, copying the behaviour of servers like Caddy or CloudFlare. This change saves CPU cycles by not trying to compress binary formats that are typically already compressed, like images or zipfiles.
