Compression webpack plugin
A webpack plugin that generates compressed versions of assets (gzip, Brotli, etc.) for serving with Content-Encoding.
What is Compression webpack plugin?
Compression Webpack Plugin is a webpack plugin that generates compressed versions of static assets like JavaScript, CSS, and HTML files during the build process. It solves the problem of reducing file sizes for web assets by creating pre-compressed files that servers can deliver with Content-Encoding headers, improving website performance and reducing bandwidth usage.
Web developers and DevOps engineers using webpack who need to optimize asset delivery for production websites and applications.
Developers choose this plugin because it integrates directly into the webpack build pipeline, supports multiple compression algorithms (gzip, Brotli, Zstandard), and offers fine-grained control over which assets get compressed and how, with minimal configuration overhead.
