Answer 1

Check your local IIS if Compression is properly configured. Please refer the following link to properly configure IIS for HTTP Compression.

http://www.iis.net/configreference/system.webserver/httpcompression

Answer 2

If you can't control IIS, just add this to your Global.ASCX. tested on Android, iPhone, and most PC browsers.

 protected void Application_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

        // Implement HTTP compression
        HttpApplication app = (HttpApplication)sender;


        // Retrieve accepted encodings
        string encodings = app.Request.Headers.Get("Accept-Encoding");
        if (encodings != null)
        {
            // Check the browser accepts deflate or gzip (deflate takes preference)
            encodings = encodings.ToLower();
            if (encodings.Contains("deflate"))
            {
                app.Response.Filter = new DeflateStream(app.Response.Filter, CompressionMode.Compress);
                app.Response.AppendHeader("Content-Encoding", "deflate");
            }
            else if (encodings.Contains("gzip"))
            {
                app.Response.Filter = new GZipStream(app.Response.Filter, CompressionMode.Compress);
                app.Response.AppendHeader("Content-Encoding", "gzip");
            }
        }
    }
