Rollup Plugin Gzip

Overview

The rollup-plugin-gzipci is a powerful tool designed to optimize your Rollup or Vite bundles by generating compressed artifacts in .gz and .br formats. This plugin enhances the efficiency of file transfers and reduces network load by ensuring your output files are smaller. It's worth noting that the latest version is compatible with Rollup versions starting from 2.0.0, making it crucial for developers working with recent projects to consider this plugin for better performance.

Not only does this plugin streamline the build process, but it also offers a range of customizable options that cater to different project needs. Whether you're looking to control compression levels, specify custom file naming conventions, or even employ different compression algorithms, rollup-plugin-gzipci provides the flexibility required for today's development environments.

Features
