Disable Brotli compression

Dashboard

The following example rule will disable Brotli compression for all incoming requests of a given zone. The only available compression algorithm will be Gzip.

• All incoming requests

Then

• Compression options: Custom
• Define a custom order for compression types: Gzip

If the client does not support Gzip compression, the response will be uncompressed.
