gzip vs Brotli in nginx

gzip vs Brotli in nginx
Brotli compresses text 15-25% smaller than gzip at the same speed for static assets — free bandwidth and faster loads. But the nginx Brotli module isn't built in; you compile it or use a package that has it.
— Stock nginx, don't want to recompile: gzip on; gzip_comp_level 5;
— Pre-compress static files once with brotli_static on;: ship .br files, zero runtime cost
Dynamic HTML? gzip level 4-5 is the sweet spot — level 9 burns CPU for ~2% gain. Tune it tonight.
