Enable text compression

I’ve seen bits and pieces about it on here, but not anything I can find that’s a clear answer. The first result I have, as far as improving load speeds per Google’s pagespeed test, is Enable Text Compression. I honestly can’t figure out what that means, where, or how I can manage that within Webflow. Can anyone help?

result of compression of text files as HTML, CSS etc. is GZIP and is automatically done by WF I guess

Text compression is a function of the web server architecture and would need to be enabled there. There is no specific option since it is already enabled by default. A quick check in dev tools would show you that Webflow indeed uses GZIP compression on various files (I tested CSS and HTML).
