Description

Zopfli is a compression algorithm bit-stream compatible with compression used in gzip, Zip, PNG, HTTP requests, and others. Zopfli compresses more (~5%) but is slower (~100x) and uses more CPU, and is hence best suited for applications where data is compressed once and sent over a network many times, for example, static content for the web.

Compatible with all RHEL-based distributions, including CentOS, AlmaLinux, Oracle Linux, Rocky Linux, etc.
