For those using Brotli compression on your server...
Be aware to take advantage of higher end to end compression rates available through Brotli the following Cloudflare proxy features
need to be disabled (all option settings are available within this app).
- Email Obfuscation
- Rocket Loader
- Server Side Excludes (SSE)
- Mirage
- HTML Minification - JavaScript and CSS can be left enabled.
- Automatic HTTPS Rewrites
You are going to want to disable the proxy features above within this app to be able to pass through your Brotli compressed content without it being decompressed and recompressed. If one of these proxy features is turned on it will require Cloudflare to decompress the HMTL, apply the Cloudflare proxy feature, and then recompress using Cloudflare’s default Brotli level 4 or Gzip level 8 depending on the user's accept-encoding header.
If you have these proxy features turned off it can pass Brotli 0-11 Compression write through to the end user.
