In 2015, two engineers at Google designed a new compression algorithm called Brotli that can have a better compression without spending more time. Brotli is already supported by the most browsers such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, and Microsoft Edge.

services.AddResponseCompression(options =>
{
   options.Providers.Add<BrotliCompressionProvider>();
   options.MimeTypes = ResponseCompressionDefaults.MimeTypes.Concat(new[] { "image/svg+xml" });
});

app.UseResponseCompression();
