Browser download 1.5 Mo to display login page

Diacamma needs lots of static resources, mainly javascript libs.

To display login page, it's 1.5 Mo of uncompressed files that are downloaded by the browser :

This implies two issues:

1. Server consume bandwidth. It's not possible to host it smoothly on a DSL connection.

2. Even hosted properly, DSL clients have to wait ~3 seconds before login.

There is at least 2 ways to fix this issue:

1. Use CDN. For example, jquery cdn: https://code.jquery.com/ (minified and compressed version takes 39ko, in comparaison with the 287ko of the uncompressed, unminified embedded version)

2. Enable django compressor: https://django-compressor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Some of the js libs are already minified but I think that compression will bring the load size to ~500ko.

Hi,

I've reach this page https://github.com/Lucterios2/core/wiki/S.-Lucterios-production-server

And add these lines to nginx configuration (following https://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-configure-gzip-compression-with-nginx/):

   gzip on;
   gzip_vary on;
   gzip_min_length 10240;
   gzip_proxied expired no-cache no-store private auth;
   gzip_types text/plain text/css text/xml text/javascript application/javascript application/x-javascript application/xml;

With compression enabled, the login page loads with 584 ko transfered.
