The rewrite-body plugin (rybbit analytics, anti-AI trap links) requires
strip-accept-encoding to work, which killed HTTP compression for 50+
services. This adds Traefik's built-in compress middleware at the
websecure entrypoint level to re-compress responses to clients after
rewrite-body has modified them.
Uses includedContentTypes whitelist (not excludedContentTypes) so only
text-based types are compressed. SSE, WebSocket, gRPC, and binary
downloads are unaffected.
Measured improvement on ha-sofia:
- app.js: 540KB → 167KB (3.2x)
- core.js: 52KB → 19KB (2.7x)
