How to Configure Gzip and Brotli

Step-by-step instructions for how to enable and configure Gzip compression and Brotli compression.

Medianova CDN supports Brotli Compression and Gzip Compression for reducing the size of eligible responses. Each compression method can be enabled independently, and the list of compressed content types can be customized.

For details about compression behavior, see Compression.

Configure Compression

Gzip and Brotli are configured per CDN Resource in the Medianova Control Panel.

The following steps apply to both Brotli Compression and Gzip Compression.

1

Open Text Optimization

Open your CDN Resource and navigate to Optimization → Text.

The page displays separate configuration sections for Brotli Compression and Gzip Compression.

2

Enable Compression

Enable the toggle for Brotli Compression or Gzip Compression.

Both compression methods can be enabled independently.

3

Configure Content Types

Review the content types configured for the selected compression method.

To add another content type:

  1. Enter the MIME type in the Content Type field.

  2. Select + to add it.

To remove a configured content type, select the × icon next to it.

Select Show more to display additional configured content types.

4

Save the Configuration

Select Save in the pending changes bar.

Review the pending configuration changes and confirm the update.

Default Content Types

Brotli Compression and Gzip Compression include predefined content types.

You can modify these lists according to the content delivered by your CDN Resource.

To restore the predefined list for a compression method, select Reset to default.

Only configure content types that are appropriate for compression. For the default content types and additional compression behavior, see Compression.

Brotli and Gzip Selection

The compression format delivered to a client depends on the compression methods enabled for the CDN Resource and the encodings supported by the client.

Clients communicate supported compression formats through the Accept-Encoding request header.

If a supported compression format cannot be used, the response can be delivered without compression.

Important Notes

  • Brotli Compression and Gzip Compression are configured independently.

  • Each compression method maintains its own list of content types.

  • Configuration changes are not applied until the pending changes are saved.

  • Removing a content type prevents that type from being eligible for the corresponding compression method after the updated configuration is applied.

  • Use Reset to default to restore the predefined content type configuration.
