Brotli is a general-purpose lossless compression algorithm. It compresses data using a combination of a modern variant of the Lempel-Ziv coding LZ77 algorithm, Huffman coding , and second-order context modeling, providing a compression ratio comparable to the best currently available general-purpose compression methods.
Brotli provides better compression ratios than gzip and deflate speeds are comparable, but brotli compression is a slower process than Gzip compression, so gzip may be a better option for the compression of non-cacheable content.
Brotli is compatible with most modern browsers, but you may want to consider a fallback.
