I wish Caddy would support brotil, is either gzip or zstd currently.

  Caddy 2 supports brotli static compression out of the box, I ran a test on it just last week with this exact configuration. Dynamic, I'm not sure. That use case doesn't interest me as much.

  Just did some quick research and it looks like you can serve pre-compressed static resources in Brotil. See the precompressed option of the file_server directive[1]. The thinking seems to be due to how CPU intensive it is, Brotil is not favoured for on-the-fly compression[2]. If you're really desperate for it though, you could try [this extension][3].

    The extension is not performance focused, so its slow. Other webservers support it, mainly Nginx. But since Caddy is written in go, they need a native go port which doesn't exist yet.

      > The extension is not performance focused, so its slow. Yeah, hence my "really desperate" qualifier. I probably should have been more explicit.
