# Compression
|
|
|
|
Next.js provides [**gzip**](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6713#section-3) compression to compress rendered content and static files. Compression only works with the [`server` target](/docs/api-reference/next.config.js/build-target.md#server-target). In general you will want to enable compression on a HTTP proxy like [nginx](https://www.nginx.com/), to offload load from the `Node.js` process.
|
|
|
|
To disable **compression**, open `next.config.js` and disable the `compress` config:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
module.exports = {
|
|
compress: false,
|
|
}
|
|
```
