| * Assets pre-compression: Modern web servers such as [[https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/directives/file_server#precompressed|Caddy/FrankenPHP]] and NGINX (with modules) support serving pre-compressed static files instead of compressing them on the fly, saving CPU-time and decreasing latency. Tools such as Symfony AssetMapper [[https://symfony.com/doc/7.3/frontend/asset_mapper.html#pre-compressing-assets|are adding support for assets pre-compression]] and would benefit from not requiring external PECL extensions or system commands. | * Assets pre-compression: Modern web servers such as [[https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/directives/file_server#precompressed|Caddy/FrankenPHP]] and NGINX (with modules) support serving pre-compressed static files instead of compressing them on the fly, saving CPU-time and decreasing latency.

| Although Zstandard is in most cases more efficient than Brotli, Brotli [[https://caniuse.com/?search=zstandard|is not currently supported by Safari]] and - at the highest compression level - [[https://paulcalvano.com/2024-03-19-choosing-between-gzip-brotli-and-zstandard-compression/|produces smaller files]] than Zstandard. As browsers negotiate which format to use according to their capabilities, we propose adding support for both formats to PHP. | Although Zstandard is in most cases more efficient than Brotli, Zstandard [[https://caniuse.com/?search=zstandard|is not currently supported by Safari]] and - at the highest compression level - Brotli [[https://paulcalvano.com/2024-03-19-choosing-between-gzip-brotli-and-zstandard-compression/|produces smaller files]] than Zstandard.
