> Typically, Brotli is better than gzip, and gzip is better than nothing. gzip is so cheap everyone enables it by default, but Brotli is way slower. Note that way slower applies to speed of compression, not decompression. So Brotli is a good bet if you can precompress. > Annoyingly, I host my blog on GitHub pages, which doesn’t support Brotli. If your users all use modern browsers and you host static pages through a service like Cloudflare or CloudFront that supports custom HTTP headers, you can implement your own Brotli support by precompressing the static files with Brotli and adding a Content-Encoding: br HTTP header. This is kind of cheating because you are ignoring proper content negotiation with Accept-Encoding, but I’ve done it successfully for sites with targeted user bases.
