You know. I was actually quite annoyed ( to say the least ) with the post. For one the post is lacking a date, and you have to search yourself it was published in April 2017. And without a date the article is completely lacking context because Guetzli [1] hasn't been worked on for 5 years. And as [2] mentioned its work and derivative was ultimately merged into JPEG XL, which is a very decent image format. ( People should definitely check out JPEG XL if it is not on your radar yet )
But then I notice it was Dan luu who submitted it, which likely means there must be something much deeper than is what is shown on the surface. So what is the context here ?

Yes! Decode the base64, run through mozjpeg, re-encode. For PNGs, I've had the best results on average with pngwolf-zopfli: https://github.com/jibsen/pngwolf-zopfli

It was aiming for better compression than LZ4 at much higher speeds than deflate. Now brotli and zstd on their faster settings mostly beat it in that niche.
