Brotli Compression – How to enable it for your website

Brotli is a Google developed algorithm for compressing data without losing any information (lossless). It combines techniques like LZ77 (finding repeating patterns), Huffman coding (efficient representation of symbols), and context modelling  to achieve superior compression compared to older compression methods like gzip. You can use both compression methods enabled, modern browsers that support both methods will prefer and serve Brotli over gzip.
