File compression reduces file size, speeds up uploads, and improves the overall download experience for users accessing your content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Large, uncompressed files take longer to upload and consume more storage space. Simple compression methods like ZIP or RAR can significantly reduce file size without affecting usability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How File Compression Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Compression removes redundant data and reorganizes files to make them smaller.
