Run brotli -q 11 -k index.html to produce index.html.br at maximum quality.

01Command

Command

$ brotli -q 11 -k index.html

02What it does

Brotli is the compression algorithm used by modern web servers and CDNs, and pre-compressing static assets at build time avoids doing it on every request. The high quality levels are slow but produce noticeably smaller files than gzip for text assets.

!Warning: Very high quality levels are slow; reserve -q 11 for static build steps and use lower levels for on-the-fly compression.
