Features

Brotli Compression: Compresses your Vite-generated assets as well as files from the public directory using the Brotli algorithm, optimizing load speeds significantly.
Format-Specific Optimizations: SVG files are optimized using svgo, while PNGs go through imagemin, ensuring you get the best possible performance from your assets.
Customizable Quality Settings: Adjust the quality settings for compression, with options that let you balance between file size and quality based on your specific needs.
Threshold Exclusions: By default, files smaller than 1501 bytes are not compressed, which helps avoid unnecessary processing and maintains performance.
File Exclusions: Use the exclude option to prevent specific files, like "ssr-manifest.json," from being compressed, allowing for tailored asset management.
Additional Compression for Extensions: Easily add more file types to be compressed with Brotli, broadening the scope of your optimization beyond the default file extensions.
Verbose Logging: Enable verbose mode to see detailed logs of compressed files and their compression ratios, helping you monitor the optimization process effectively.
Flexible Plugin Options: Customize your compressors further with options for plugins like pngquant, allowing for greater control over how images are optimized.
