ngx_brotli

Unfortunatly the linked nginx module [1] seems to be unmaintained since 2016. While there is a more maintained fork [2] it seems like neither the Ubuntu [3] nor the Debian team [4] want to package it due to open bugs and security concerns. It's really surprising considering how widespread Brotli support is, that there isn't a better nginx support for it.

not obsolete at all I benchmarked http/2 vs http/2 + ngx_pagespeed and the http/2 + ngx_pagespeed is still faster http://centminmod.com/http2-versus-spdy-nginx.html#http2vers... if you think about it, http/2 allows requests over one tcp connection but each page element is still around the same size. ngx_pagespeed can optimise those page elements css/js and reduce image sizes i.e. png to webp conversion on the fly so each page element is smaller in size. Utlimately reducing the size of each page element = smaller data transfers = faster page loads :) I'm also using Google's ngx_brotli https://github.com/google/ngx_brotli + ngx_pagespeed for even better performance https://community.centminmod.com/threads/brotli-compression-...
