@martonmiklos this is great contribution, I haven't deep-dived into it yet, so my question may be silly: does it replace heatshrink or works on top of it?

TL;DR: It works on top of it.
If enabled during the make process the html folder is copied to a temporary directory where all static css, js, html file get gzipped. Then the espfs will be generated from this temporary folder. As I have seen the heatshrink produces a little bit bigger files from the default project's gzipped contents. That is because it only contains a few compress-able files and on the gzipped files the heatshrink seems to be less efficient. But when using larger static files it produces far smaller image. For e.g. I have added a 93.5 KB jquery file to the default project (cats removed). With GZIP compression enabled the webpages.espfs is 37.3 KB while with GZIP disabled it 52.2 KB.
The another income from the GZIP-ing is the saved bandwidth when serving these files.

@martonmiklos totally makes sense, just applied the patch and am seeing 8x improvement on load times for the jquery framework js and html files.
It is amazing how few lines of code make such a difference. Great work!

Hi,
I'm late to try this little webserver, but today was the day... and it works
, and it's a great demo of what's possible with some careful coding. So - my thanks to Mr Sprite... a tall cold Ontario craft-brewed beer is waiting if you ever make it to Toronto. Thanks also to the other posters with their tips and ideas.
