Consider deprecating old types API

**Feature request**
It would be great to have compression for components.

**Use case**
Many users need this functionality for production deployments.

**Implementation idea**
Add a new config option `enable_compression` with default `false`.

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating configuration handling and the component processing path, then clarify which components should be compressed and how production behavior is expected to change; done should include an `enable_compression` option defaulting to `false` and coverage for both settings.
