    In file included from /tmp/php-ext-brotli/brotli.c:19:
/tmp/php-ext-brotli/php_brotli.h:13:10: fatal error: brotli/encode.h: No such file or directory

    the instruction may have been outdated. Do you have the latest one?
    Otherwise, do you have any idea how to solve this issue?
    I wish to enable brotli

    Thank you

    Hello @futureyoon

    Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to assist you with this.
    You need that extension to compress pages for the page cache. We only check for that extension to let you enable the feature.
    So W3TC only checks if the extension is installed and active. You have the instructions for the installation in the readme.
    I would recommend reaching out to your hosting provider for assistance with the installation.
    Thanks!

    OK I got it worked.

    Just extra question,
    is it ok to turn on gzip and brotli together? or I gotta enable only 1 of them?

    What is the implication to have both enabled?

    Please guide me on this

    Thank you

    Hello @futureyoon

    Thank you for the information.
    When both are enabled, all modern browsers will favor Brotli over Gzip. Enabling both may have some negative impact depending on the browser (older browsers)
    I would suggest using only Brotli or Gzip.
    I hope this helps!
    Thanks!
