  description: |
    Ensure that your Amazon CloudFront Content Delivery Network (CDN) distributions are configured to automatically compress content for web requests that include "Accept-Encoding: gzip" in the request header, in order to increase the websites/web applications performance and reduce bandwidth costs.
  impact: |
    Disabling "Compress Objects Automatically" in CloudFront can lead to increased data transfer costs and slower page load times, negatively impacting user experience and performance.
  remediation: |
    Enable "Compress Objects Automatically" in CloudFront to reduce data transfer sizes, enhance loading speeds, and improve overall performance for end users.
