almost all servers support compression nowadays, and most clients as well. The HTTP headers and such won't get compressed, but there's a very good chance that every page and text asset you get has been compressed in transit. Some servers even have the option of precompressing assets and delivering them without having to stream through a compression algorithm, but that only works with static assets.
