Resolved Issue #10 . Issue was that there was a lack of compression enabled on the Django server-side. To fix this, I added a Middleware capability by the name of "django.middleware.gzip.GZipMiddleware" in the base.py settings file. This automatically compresses most files that meet the size requirement (and for eligible browsers) and helps reduce network size.
As a result, the lighthouse score went from 70% to 79% and the suggestion to "Enable text compression" had been resolved.
