Content encoding from origin server to Cloudflare?
What do you guys use for your dynamic PHP websites?
Especially using Nginx on the origin server.
zstd is nice but not yet supported by Cloudflare.

fuck it who even uses php nowadays react it
This forum LET uses PHP,
and it seems they are using Brotli.
Brotli was made for web compression, it includes a hard-coded dictionary containing most common words and code snippets and initializes the LZ77 sliding window with it before compression.
Quoting a paper from Brotli authors:
That's why it usually performs really well on very short ( <500 B ) HTTP responses, whereas Gzip and Zstd need to fill their buffers to back reference anything. It puts them both at a bit of disadvantage to Brotli, so I always to prefer to use Brotli on the web as it was clearly made for it.
That being said, Gzip is still better than not having compression at all and seems to be supported almost everywhere nowadays.
The support for Zstd on the web was introduced quite recently and it's always nice to see a modern compression algorithm being adopted in so many places
Both Brotli and Zstd improve the performance of entropy coder by using FSE instead of huffman implemented in gzip. The sliding window in modern algorithms is also more flexible than limited 32K of gzip.
Almost everyone here (companies), most are whmcs,blesta,...
this ass website looks like from the 90s so no surprise there
The search is definetly some hot ass from the 90s
Just don't use Cloudflare. Problem solved.
Do you want to be DDoS’d offline 21 hours per day?
Cloudflare is the web now.
Yes, let's use discourse so when you open let it will take you half of a fucking minute.
Doesn't change the fact that it's ancient lol
Cloudflare does support zstd, but it is still in beta. You have to enable it manually in the compression rule.
Yeah then suck it
I'd gladly suck it, hit me up
Which page specifically?
I cannot find it on my domain using the pro plan.
Edit: Seen it now, thanks.

I just tried, and it will just force zstd compression from Cloudflare to the clients.
It still doesn't support zstd from
Origin server > Cloudflare > clientend-to-end compression.True, you have to disable your origin server compression.
