Nginx Can gzip be replaced?

Hi everyone..

Noop time and one question..

In the centminmod nginx.conf I see this:

---

Code:

        gzip on;
        gzip_vary   on;
        gzip_disable "MSIE [1-6]\.";
        gzip_static on;
        gzip_min_length   1400;
        gzip_buffers      32 8k;
        gzip_http_version 1.0;
        gzip_comp_level 5;
        gzip_proxied    any;
        gzip_types text/plain text/css text/xml application/javascript application/x-javascript application/xml application/xml+rss application/ecmascript application/json image/sv$

Can this be replaced with something better? - I do use the options to make those multithreaded compressions tools. So can for example pigz be using in nginx instead of gzip?

Thanks in advance.

 

I actually have be reading those post - but I think I will have to wait.. Most of my users is mostly 'the somewhat' older generation adults. They don't update their desktop alot ;-( - so I don't think I will gain alot with brotli for the time being.. I will test for sure later on.

I stick with gzip for now. Thanks @eva2000 for getting back to me.
