HTTP Compression Checker

Find out instantly whether a URL serves compressed responses — and how many bytes it's wasting if it doesn't.

Live on the Apify Store — run it instantly or call it as an agent tool via Apify MCP.

What you get

  • Detects the response Content-Encoding: gzip, brotli (br), deflate, or none.
  • Measures the compressed transfer size vs. the uncompressed body and computes the exact savings %.
  • Flags text/HTML/CSS/JS resources that arrive uncompressed — the easy wins that are slowing your site.
  • Single URL or bulk list, follows redirects, reports the final URL and HTTP status.

Input

{
"url": "https://github.com",
"urls": ["https://example.com", "google.com"],
"maxUrls": 50
}
  • url — a single URL to check.
  • urls — a list of URLs (bare domains are fine; https:// is added automatically).
  • maxUrls — safety cap per run (default 50, max 200).

Output

One dataset item per URL:

{
"url": "https://github.com",
"finalUrl": "https://github.com/",
"status": 200,
"contentType": "text/html; charset=utf-8",
"encoding": "gzip",
"compressed": true,
"compressedBytes": 53120,
"uncompressedBytes": 268044,
"savingsPct": 80.18,
"flaggedUncompressed": false,
"checkedAt": "2026-06-24T00:00:00.000Z"
}

flaggedUncompressed: true means a compressible text resource was served with no compression — fix it for a quick speed win.
