Default
br

A comma-separated list of the algorithms the proxy may use. Supported values:

  • br (Brotli) — best ratio for text; the modern default, supported by all current browsers.
  • gzip — universal compatibility, slightly worse ratio than Brotli.
  • deflate — legacy; rarely needed.
  • zstd — very fast with strong ratios where clients support it.
Recommended
Offer br, gzip: Brotli for modern clients, gzip as the universal fallback. Add zstd when your audience supports it.
