Analyzer ngx-gzip-compression-types

# Name

ngx-gzip-compression-types - Nginx GZIP Compression Types Statistics

This analyzer collects statistics on MIME types configured for GZIP compression in nginx-based applications such as OpenResty and Kong. It monitors the gzip_types directive usage across server configurations, capturing the frequency of compression applied to different content types. The analyzer generates bar chart visualizations showing the distribution of compressed MIME types, helping administrators verify compression policies and optimize bandwidth usage for various content categories.
