Enable both brotli and gzip on NGINX?
Solution 1:
One of the first articles I found when searching online for nginx and brotli, is this link. It kinda answers your question — I think:
Browsers which supports brotli send ‘br’ along with ‘gzip’ in accept-encoding request header. If brotli is enabled on your web server, you will get response in brotli compressed format.
This means to me that if the client supports both, brotli is preferred over gzip.
Also note that "Brotli or gzip should not be used for binary files like JPEG, PNG, MP4."
