Introducing Brotli: a new compression algorithm for the internet
By
At Google, we think that internet users’ time is valuable, and that they shouldn’t have to wait long for a web page to load. Because fast is better than slow, two years ago we published the Zopfli compression algorithm. Thisreceivedsuchpositivefeedbackintheindustry thatit hasbeenintegratedintomanycompressionsolutions, ranging from PNG optimizers to preprocessing web content. Based on its use and other modern compression needs, such as web font compression,today weareexcitedtoannouncethat we have developed and open sourced a new algorithm, the Brotli compression algorithm.
