  Brotli is a better example, as it was literally purpose made for HTML/CSS/JS. It is now supported basically everywhere for HTTP compression, and uses a huge custom dictionary (about 120KB) that was trained on simulated web traffic. You can even swap in your own shared dictionary with a HTTP header, but trying to make your own dictionary specific to your content is a fool’s errand, you’ll never amortize the cost in total bits. What you CAN do with shared dictionaries though, is delta updates. https://developer.chrome.com/blog/shared-dictionary-compression https://developer.chrome.com/blog/shared-dictionary-compress... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39615198 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39615198
