How can I enable brotli-compression in apache for better core-web-vitals scores?

Asked on Sep 29, 2025

Answer

Enabling Brotli compression in Apache can significantly improve your website's loading speed, which positively impacts Core Web Vitals scores by reducing the size of transferred files. This compression method is particularly effective for text-based resources like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

<!-- BEGIN COPY / PASTE -->
    LoadModule brotli_module modules/mod_brotli.so

    <IfModule mod_brotli.c>
      AddOutputFilterByType BROTLI_COMPRESS text/html text/plain text/xml text/css text/javascript application/javascript application/json
      BrotliCompressionQuality 5
      BrotliWindowSize 16
    </IfModule>
    <!-- END COPY / PASTE -->

Additional Comment:

Ensure that the Brotli module is installed and enabled in your Apache server.
Adjust the "BrotliCompressionQuality" setting to balance between compression speed and efficiency (1-11, where 11 is the highest compression).
Test your server's response headers to confirm that Brotli compression is active and properly configured.
Consider using Brotli alongside gzip for broader browser compatibility.
