    Your server is Cloudflare, and you are using HTTPS,
    so most compressible resources are offered with brotli compression, it is considered more efficient than GZip

    You dont need to worry. Your site is fine, see GTMetrix report for example

    oh, ok, I did not realize using CF and HTTPS suggested using brotli. Thanks!

    I tried to switch it over to brotli but it won’t let me check that box. But you’re saying I just don’t need to worry about this at all because I’m on CF and HTTPS and my GT Metrix score is really good?

    I’m more of a content strategy and production guy who is getting more into this end of things so I’m not always sure this metrics to pay closest attention to. Thanks for your help!

    Hello @crowe

    Thanks for reaching out. As @fierevere suggested your website is served from Cloudflare and your website is “brotlied” Plase check more details about brotli in this article.
    In the screenshot below you can see the content encoding which is br in your case instead of gzip and all website served from Cloudflare have brotli compression

    So there is nothing to worry about here as your website is resources are compressed.
    Thanks!
