General. Don't use TLS compression or HTTP compression for any information you want to keep secret. BREACH and CRIME attacks exploit this.

You can still use, say, HTML minification.

You can compress your js and css as long as you make sure you aren't sending your confidential information in those request/response headers. A good way to do this is to setup a subdomain for media that never uses cookies.
