Pretty much title. The majority of my Github Pages site is being gzipped, but for some reason CSV files are ignored. This is unfortunate, because for some client-side visualizations a 10 megabyte CSV file is sent over the wire. This results in a long page-load time.

I've tried gzipping the file locally and it reduces the filesize substantially. Is there any way to enable this sort of compression for CSV files? I believe Github Pages uses nginx but I don't see any option in the Jekyll or other settings to modify nginx settings to include csv gzip compression.

I see Github Pages gzips HTML, CSS, JS, JSON, etc. but not CSV?
