Data compression has been used to improve web performance and user experience. It reduces the size of files and resources, such as images, video, and text, before their transmission over the Internet. Therefore, the process reduces the amount of data transferred and enables faster load times. However, data compression has become a source of side-channel attacks that can leak personal information about users to potential adversaries. In most previously known side-channel attacks, data leaks happen because of software-visible uses of compression.
