Why Brotli outperforms Gzip
Brotli is an open-source data format developed by Google specifically optimized for web content. Unlike Gzip, which relies purely on general-purpose DEFLATE compression, Brotli includes a built-in static dictionary containing over 13,000 common HTML tags, CSS rules, and JavaScript patterns.
This specialized dictionary allows Brotli to compress text assets 14% to 25% smaller than standard Gzip, resulting in smaller payloads, faster mobile downloads, and reduced CDN bandwidth expenses.
