Although we usually focus on talking about Linux or software for this platform, whether they are open source or proprietary projects, this time it is one of those times that we are going to go a little out of the box to introduce you Brotli, a compression algorithm specifically designed to speed up the Internet and allow users to enjoy faster Internet browsing speeds. Of course it is an open-source project.
And it is that with the current so fast connections, especially with the arrival of the DSL and the optical fiber, the problems of slowness of the most primitive lines no longer exist, but the problem comes with the growth of the complexity of the web pages, some of them with large amounts of HTML, CSS, JavaScripts, and others, to form the designs, content, and web apps. Not counting the multimedia files that can be found ...
When the pages grow at this rate, despite the fast connections, certain websites may take a little longer than others, especially when we access from mobile devices, so fashionable now ...

It's really nothing new, Google was commissioned to present it in September 2015.
But the problem is that until now, most browsers did not support it, and it is now that they have begun to adopt it.
