    If you're using Cloudflare in front of your server, then KeyCDN is testing brotli checks against Cloudflare server and not Centmin Mod Nginx. Cloudflare has their own dashboard setting to enable Brotli under Speed settings What will Cloudflare compress?

    if you have wordpress plugins which auto compress/gzip wp files then that takes priority over nginx level brotli compression. You need to turn off all wordpress plugins' settings which deal with auto compression/gzipping.

    Done. Disabled autoptimize plugin. Restarted nginx. Still not showing brotli

    Do i have to check the Auto Minify (CSS, JS, HTML) in cloudflare to checked or unchecked?

    what's output for commands wrap in CODE tags
    Code (Text):
    curl -sI /dev/null -H"Accept-Encoding: gzip,br" https://yourdomain.com

    Code (Text):
    curl -sI /dev/null -H"Accept-Encoding: gzip,br" http://yourdomain.com

    checking the Content-Encoding: line to see if it shows gzip or br

    any wordpress caching methods used i.e. wp super cache or keycdn cache enabler ? check their settings to see if gzip compression is enabled.

    Only one file is served via brotli
    Code:
    https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Libre+Franklin%3A300%2C300i%2C400%2C400i%2C600%2C600i%2C800%2C800i&subset=latin%2Clatin-ext

    Usually something either on nginx or web app (wordpress/forum software) is compressing static files as gzip first so it's served i.e. if you ran brotli.sh tool outlined at Sysadmin - How to use brotli.sh ? against your wordpress directory static files will be pre-compressed as gzip and brotli with gzip taking priority as nginx supports brotli and gzip pre compressed file serving.

    You can verify if cloudflare or centmin mod nginx is where the gzip compression is coming from by running curl command which bypasses cloudflare to connect with centmin mod nginx backend replacing YOURREALSERVER_IP with your real server IP address below and yourdomain.com with your domain name. You may want to mask your real ip when you post the output on this forum to protect your real IP address
    Code (Text):
    curl -sI -H"Accept-Encoding: gzip,br" --resolve 'yourdomain.com:443:YOURREALSERVER_IP' https://yourdomain.com

    compare it to header check with cloudflare in front
    Code (Text):
    curl -sI -H"Accept-Encoding: gzip,br" https://yourdomain.com

    Inspecting whether Content-Encoding shows br or gzip. If bypass curl header check shows br but cloudflare curl header check shows gzip, then something at web app level i.e. wordpress is precompressing static assets as gzip.

    This is the output. Can not connect

    Update: Tried this command on runcloud server. It show Content-Encoding: br. So there must be something with cloudflare. Do you know anything to do with cloudflare for brotli other than brotli enable button.

    Is there any specific setting you have to do in cloudflare for brotli compression apart from the enable brotli option, in speed tab in cloudflare?

    Found an article by sitepoint.com link below

    If you have Cloudflare origin authentication setup so regular HTTPS requests to https backend nginx site are only allowed via Cloudflare, then need to temporarily disable Cloudflare origin authenitication by commenting out the line in your nginx vhost domain config file

    changing line from
    Code (Text):
    ssl_client_certificate /usr/local/nginx/conf/ssl/cloudflare/domain.com/origin.crt;
ssl_verify_client on;

    to comment out and disable them with hash in front
    Code (Text):
    #ssl_client_certificate /usr/local/nginx/conf/ssl/cloudflare/domain.com/origin.crt;
#ssl_verify_client on;

    restart Nginx and PHP-FPM services
    Code (Text):
    nprestart

    Then disable Original Authentication Pull in Cloudflare dashboard.

    Then re-run single command line for curl header check that bypasses cloudflare
    Code (Text):
    curl -sI -H"Accept-Encoding: gzip,br" --resolve yourdomain.com:443:YOURREALSERVER_IP' https://yourdomain.com

    After you got output, re-enable Cloudflare origin authentication by removing comment hashes from the 2 lines and then restarting nginx and php-fpm services and re-enable Original Authentication Pull in Cloudflare dashboard.

    Yes it's either Cloudflare or at web app level - something in wordpress is causing static assets to be compressed with gzip before being passed onto Cloudflare. You can try clearing Cloudflare cache - purge all cache button to see if that was caching your wordpress level gzipped assets.
