Add brotli php module [RELEASED]

gavin

Hi,

It's not available in the debian/ubuntu/ondrej repo. But it can be built when a new PHP version is released. https://github.com/kjdev/php-ext-brotli

I am using it with KeyCDN Cache Enabler plugin which supports outputting precompressed (brotli / gzip) cached files. It's no hidden fact that Brotli performs slightly better than gzip. Let's save the resources bit by bit and make the world a better place!

Just have cloudflare and it's brotli.

gavin

DracoBlue Not every body uses Cloudflare or want to use Cloudflare.

Zoinkies

DracoBlue Cloudflare is crap.

Adrien

gavin @Zoinkies hahaha ;-)
Are you upset with CF like me because you applied to their program but got ignored/rejected?

gavin

Adrien Which program? Domain reseller program? I am not upset with Cloudflare. I use Cloudflare as well as Bunny for my needs.

Zoinkies

Adrien I’m upset because I paid $8000/per month for 12 months for something I could’ve got from Bunny, Fastly, or StackPath.

Adrien

Zoinkies Wouaw thanks for sharing this 100k feedback. I tested bunny CDN maybe too quickly and gave up because I had a much higher TTFB (140ms average) than with Quic.cloud (20ms in my server region and approx. 200ms otherwise) or CF (based on full site cache with some rules set up I had approx. 60ms WW).

So I'm curious and willing to give it another shot after reading your comments.

gavin

Adrien It might not have cached properly or some other issue. What is your region?

Adrien

gavin Europe. My server is in London.

gavin

Ok. You should do a thorough test. BunnyCDN do well in average response time always. https://bunny.net/blog/hopping-ahead-bunnycdn-ranked-first-on-cdnperf/

Other providers might have more POP or POP closer to the test server. Though they have added many locations and some exotic locations this month. https://bunny.net/blog/our-biggest-expansion-ever-43-new-locations/

Adrien

gavin I wasn't expecting Bunny to be so good. Now I'm quite excited to test it again. I'll share my results VS Quic.cloud soon. Quic.Cloud does not even appear on this list; When I see Bunny prices, we are much cheaper than QC too.

DracoBlue It's added to new roadmap already.

This is now available and can be enabled if you follow these instructions:

Adam enabling it results in junk characters. tried all compression levels. Anybody has tried it already on Wordpress PHP.ini ( not cloudflare ) ? I am using PHP 8.2

We've yet to find anything to beat CFE (also pay 6k a month), but we also use it extensively for management, control, and security. The intrinsic value, I work on production sites daily, and 99% already have Cloudflare on some level. Which makes onboarding a breeze vs attempting to explain Bunny, Fastly, or Stackpath (been, there, done that), and our onboard/churn rate makes me happy.

do any of these have cookie bypass?
no plugin, or possibly run through mu-
cdn does not modify the site's domain

Zoinkies

digitalexpanse Fastly is good, has bypass on cookie and around the same TTFB as Cloudflare. Built on Varnish, which is very configurable.
