eleventy-base-blog VS brotli

11ty is a lightweight static site generator. I chopped up my HTML and used the 11ty starter template called eleventy-base-blog as the structural foundation for the site.

Sure! It's on github at https://github.com/nosecreek/dustin-lammiman - I started with https://github.com/11ty/eleventy-base-blog for the basic templating logic.

Eleventy Base Blog demo site Source

To generate a static blog, we will be using Eleventy. Using the blog example from Eleventy as a base for our blog. Clone the repository:

I would do this with Eleventy which is a powerful static site generator with support for html partials (partial is what I call your toolbar here). You would use the template language nunjucks which Eleventy comes with support for, or you can choose plain html too if you don't want the Nunjucks capabilities for logic like if/else, for loops, javascript injection of dynamic values in your html at site generation time, etc. This repo shows most of the techniques you could need and use: https://github.com/11ty/eleventy-base-blog

For the second site I made using 11ty, I used this repo which is a more advanced 11ty template that can be customized. After following the instructions in the README.md file and edited all the markdown I came up with this:

Pre-established Eleventy Blog Template Go to eleventy base blog to clone the repository to your local file/folder.

The next example we'll look at goes more into depth of 11ty. We are creating this site from this template.

Say you want a more professonal looking site without having to do a lot of extra work, you’re in luck! 11ty has a community that has created templates that are available at this site. For this example, we will use the eleventy-base-blog, make sure to go to this repo and select the USE THIS TEMPLATE button to make a copy of the project in your namespace.

Using tools like Brotli, you can boost your application’s load time. You can use the ngUpgrade library to mix AngularJS and Angular components to enhance runtime performance, bringing in hybrid applications that can be used with techniques like ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation, aiding in faster browser rendering.

JPEGLI = A small JPEG

The suffix -li is used in Swiss German dialects. It forms a diminutive of the root word, by adding -li to the end of the root word to convey the smallness of the object and to convey a sense of intimacy or endearment.

This obviously comes out of Google Zürich.

Other notable Google projects using Swiss German:

Gipfeli = Croissant

https://github.com/google/guetzli perceptual JPEG encoder

Guetzli = Cookie

https://github.com/weggli-rs/weggli semantic search tool

Weggli = Bread roll

https://github.com/google/brotli lossless compression

Brötli = Small bread

The brotli repo on github has a dictionary generator: https://github.com/google/brotli/blob/master/research/dictio...

I have a hosted version of it on https://use-as-dictionary.com/ to make it easier to experiment with.

An additional element that we can finally remove from our stack is the minification of JavaScript and CSS files. Thanks to algorithms like brotli (with a very Swiss flavour) we no longer need to minify and compress our files before distributing them. Cloudflare, Nginx, or Apache will take care of everything for us.

We serve your site from a global cache location close to your visitors to make sure your site loads fast. In addition, we use an advanced HTML and text compression algorithm called Brotli. Compressed content is now cached, so we can send it directly to your visitors instead of compressing each request individually. In our tests this often improves loading speed by up to 2x, which will have a very positive impact on your Lighthouse scores like LCP. This will be especially noticeable on larger sites, so you can scale your site without worry.

For anyone who wants to try this, zstd -T0 uses all your threads to compress, and https://github.com/facebook/zstd has a lot more description. Brotli, https://github.com/google/brotli, is another modern format with some good features for high compression levels and Content-Encoding support in web browsers. You might also want to play with the compression level (-1 to -11 or more, zstd's --fast=n).

One reason these modern compressors do better is not any particular mistake made defining DEFLATE in the 90s, but that new algos use a few MB of recently seen data as context instead of 32KB, and do other things impractical in the 90s but reasonable on modern hardware. The new algorithms also contain logs of smart ideas and have fine-tuned implementations, but that core difference seems important to note.

It seems to be using a lib called brotli - https://github.com/google/brotli. Can you compile from source?

Alright, the minifying is done. What else? Did you know you can serve HTML, CSS and JS compressed? A lot of websites still use gzip, but there’s also Brotli. Brotli is specifically made for the web and compresses a lot better than gzip in most cases.
