As noted in daltoniam#848, compression should only be applied to data frames. When compression is applied to control frames, specifically to pong messages, a correctly implemented server will fail the websocket connection: > An endpoint MUST NOT set the "Per-Message Compressed" bit of control > frames and non-first fragments of a data message. An endpoint > receiving such a frame MUST _Fail the WebSocket Connection_. From the RFC: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7692#section-6.1
