This reduces the size of data or the amount of data transfers. In turn, such compression requires much less bandwidth and increases the website&#8217;s performance. These compression algorithms offer up to 80% compression for some documents. Brotli vs gzip are the two most popular compression algorithms used today. The gzip compression algorithm comes by default on most web servers, making it easier to utilize. However, Brotli may offer better performance depending on the use case. Let\u2019s compare these compression algorithms and learn the differences between them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-transparent ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69ed01a76183b\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"ez-toc-cssicon\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69ed01a76183b\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/brotli-vs-gzip\/#Detect-compression-algorithm\" >Detect compression algorithm<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/brotli-vs-gzip\/#Gzip\" >Gzip<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/brotli-vs-gzip\/#Brotli\" >Brotli<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/brotli-vs-gzip\/#Compare-gzip-and-Brotli\" >Compare gzip and Brotli<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/brotli-vs-gzip\/#When-to-use-Brotli-vs-gzip\" >When to use Brotli vs gzip<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/brotli-vs-gzip\/#Conclusion\" >Conclusion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Detect-compression-algorithm\"><\/span>Detect compression algorithm <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can check which compression algorithm is used on your browser by opening the <strong>developer tools<\/strong>. Cick on the files under the \u201c<strong>Network section<\/strong>\u201d. If the website uses <strong>Cloudflare <\/strong>or other <strong>CDN<\/strong>, it might not display the compression algorithm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another method that can be used is the <strong>curl <\/strong>command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>curl -s -I -H \"Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, br\" https:\/\/example.com<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, you must replace the example.com domain with the website your are testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gzip\"><\/span>Gzip<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gzip is based on the deflate algorithm. It uses both <strong>LZ77 <\/strong>and <strong>Huffman coding <\/strong>lossless data compression algorithms to compress data.<br>The gzip compression algorithm offers compression rates of <strong>60-70% reductions<\/strong> of web content. This includes <strong>HTML<\/strong>, <strong>CSS <\/strong>and <strong>Javascript <\/strong>and it also offers fast decompression. It is widely supported by major web browsers and is the default method on web servers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To compress data gzip identifies repeated sequences and stores a reference to the first occurrence. It replaces subsequent occurrences with pointers to that original instance, instead of storing the same data multiple times. It uses <strong>LZ77 <\/strong>for this compression. Then using <strong>Huffman coding<\/strong> it represents the frequently occurring characters. It combined shorter binary codes and less frequent characters with longer codes to further compress the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Brotli\"><\/span><strong>Brotli<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Brotli uses a variant of the <strong>LZ77 <\/strong>algorithm, combined with <strong>Huffman coding<\/strong> and <strong>dictionary-based<\/strong> compression. Its dictionary includes common strings and phrases found in web content. This makes it particularly efficient for compressing small files like HTML and CSS. Brotli has better compression rates compared to gzip offering higher compression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brotli is also supported by major web browsers and CDNs like Cloudflare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Compare-gzip-and-Brotli\"><\/span>Compare gzip and Brotli<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s compare gzip and Brotli and find the differences in both compression algorithms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>High Compression Ratio<\/strong>: Brotli often achieves 15-25% better compression rates than gzip. This makes it ideal for web assets where size reduction is crucial for faster load times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Decompression Speed<\/strong>: Brotli might be slightly slower than gzip but still fast and supported by modern browsers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brotli provides better compression but takes more CPU time and resources to compress files. For static content (files that don&#8217;t change often), Brotli\u2019s slower compression speed might not be an issue. These the files can be compressed once and served repeatedly from the cache. For dynamic content, Brotli\u2019s slower compression may introduce performance overhead unless proper caching is implemented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Compression Levels<\/strong><br>Both Brotli and gzip offer multiple levels of compression:<br>\u2022 Gzip: 1 (fastest, least compression) to 9 (slowest, best compression).<br>\u2022 Brotli: 0 (no compression) to 11 (best compression).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At maximum compression levels (Brotli 11 and gzip 9), Brotli can significantly outperform gzip in terms of file size reduction. However, this may take much longer to compress. However, at lower levels (Brotli 1-4 and gzip 1-4), Brotli is still often better than gzip while maintaining faster speeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When-to-use-Brotli-vs-gzip\"><\/span><strong>When to use Brotli vs gzip<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This will vary on the type of content you are serving and the content of those web files. For best performances you may need to test to ensure you choose the best compression algorithm for your use case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When to use gzip<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Dynamic Content:<\/strong> For content that changes frequently gzip might be a better choice because of the faster compression speed. This can include user-generated pages or APIs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Compatibility:<\/strong> If you&#8217;re dealing with legacy systems or browsers, gzip is still more widely supported than Brotli.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>On-the-fly Compression:<\/strong> Since gzip compresses data quickly, it\u2019s useful when you need real-time compression for every request.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When to Use Brotli:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Static Assets:<\/strong> Brotli is ideal for static content like CSS, JavaScript, and HTML files. They can be compressed once and cached for reuse. The slower compression speed doesn&#8217;t matter since these files aren&#8217;t recompressed frequently.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Higher Compression Ratio:<\/strong> If you\u2019re optimizing for slow connections or mobile users, Brotli\u2019s higher compression ratio can be very beneficial.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Modern Browsers:<\/strong> Brotli is supported by all major modern browsers. It is also a safe choice for websites targeting an up-to-date audience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Brotli <\/strong>offers higher compression rates than <strong>gzip <\/strong>often making it a better choice, but for <strong>dynamic content<\/strong> and <strong>on-the-fly compression<\/strong> Gzip is still faster.
