Brotli is a data compression algorithm developed by Google and available since 2015. It was specially developed for compressing HTTP responses on the web and, compared to other algorithms such as Gzip or Deflate, offers a higher compression rate and thus faster data transmission. Compared to Gzip, Brotli can typically achieve a 20-30% higher compression rate, which helps reduce website loading times and reduce mobile device transmission costs. Brotli is available in most modern web browsers and web servers and is increasingly used as the standard for web compression.
