💡 Idea

WebSocket messages are uncompressed by default, which wastes a lot of bandwidth for text content. RFC 7692 specifies a protocol extension that adds deflate compression. This behavior is strictly opt-in and supported by all major browser vendors.

💻 Target components

Enabling this on the server side should be sufficient: https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/gorilla/websocket#hdr-Compression_EXPERIMENTAL

Thank you for suggesting this, but I don't think I have any interest in adding this.
