Abstract
Embodiments provide a compression proxy service that dynamically selects resources or other content for compression and delivery to user devices. The resources are selected based on evaluation of compression characteristics relating to the resources. A manifest is defined to identify the selected resources, or to identify the resources not selected for processing by the compression proxy service. The user devices employ the manifest to determine whether to send requests for the resources to the compression proxy service or to another source (e.g., an origin web site). Some embodiments provide a reduction in network traffic while making efficient use of the compression proxy service.
