Product Analysis: Nuxt Compress

Overview:

Nuxt Compress is a simple static asset compression module for Nuxt that runs Gzip and Brotli compression during the build process. This module offers a more efficient way to compress files by sacrificing CPU time for greater compression, especially for Brotli compression. It provides a simple interface to include compression-webpack-plugin configured for both gzip and brotli compression.

Features:

• Static Asset Compression: Nuxt Compress compresses static assets such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript files during the build process.
• Gzip Compression: This module utilizes Gzip compression, a widely used compression algorithm, to further reduce the file size.
• Brotli Compression: Nuxt Compress also supports Brotli compression, which provides more efficient compression but requires more CPU time.

Installation:

To install Nuxt Compress, you can either add the module to your buildModules configuration in the nuxt.config.js file or install it directly.

• Option 1: Add “nuxt-compress” to your buildModules configuration in the nuxt.config.js file.

    'nuxt-compress'
  }
}

• Option 2: Install the module directly via your package manager.

npm install nuxt-compress

Summary:
