Netlify Edge has introduced automatic Brotli compression for assets delivered by the platform, providing instant performance boosts and smaller asset sizes. This upgrade is enabled automatically, without requiring developers to take any action, and benefits visitors to sites by delivering correctly compressed assets depending on the requesting browser's support for Brotli. The use of Brotli compression results in median file size reductions of 14% for JavaScript files, 21% for HTML files, and 17% for CSS files compared to gzip compression, leading to better performance and reduced bandwidth usage.
