Switch from GZIP to Brotli by default #343

Closed kytta closed 8 months ago

kytta commented 8 months ago

Brotli, as we know, is a more superior compression algorithm; fast & effective. According to Can I Use, 97% of devices can use Brotli. It's widely adopted by the servers, too: nginx, Apache, LiteSpeed, lighttpd, Caddy, and others. Big CDNs like Fastly and Cloudflare are enabling it by default.

Wouldn't it make sense for size-limit to flip the switch, too, and show the "brotlied" result by default, making GZIP opt-in and encouraging people to switch their infrastructure?

Sounds like a good idea. But I will ask in Twitter first to collect the feedback.

Here is a good statistics about the real web traffic in 2022 https://almanac.httparchive.org/en/2022/cdn#brotli-adoption

I think it is pretty solid numbers. In 2023, they will be better. And this is the whole traffic. Size Limit users is a little more advanced.
