+Brotli is a compression algorithm which, much like gzip/deflate, reduces both file size and page load time. Brotli compression is supported starting in LiteSpeed Web Server v5.2 and it is enabled by default for secure static pages and [[litespeed_wiki:cache:common:gzip-brotli-automatic-conversion|non-ESI dynamic pages]].
-===== What is Brotli? =====
+===== Disabling Brotli Compression Server Wide =====
-Brotli is a generic-purpose lossless-compression algorithm that compresses data using a combination of a modern variant of the LZ77 algorithm, Huffman coding and 2nd order context modeling, with a compression ratio comparable to the best currently available general-purpose compression methods. It is similar in speed with deflate but offers more dense compression.((https://github.com/google/brotli))
+Beginning with LiteSpeed Web Server version 5.2, brotli, a new compression method, is now supported and enabled by default.
+**Note:** If your browser does not yet support brotli compression, LiteSpeed will automatically default back to gzip. As such, we only recommend disabling brotli if encountering issues.
+While useful for reducing the size of static web pages, brotli compression can sometimes cause issues with web pages containing pre-compressed content, such as gzip-compressed PHP. In these cases it may be desirable to disable brotli server wide, which can be accomplished with the following steps.
+==== Instructions ====
+  - Log in to the LiteSpeed WebAdmin Console\\ \\ {{ :litespeed_wiki:config:brotli:brotli-server-1.png?nolink&400 |}}
+  - Navigate to **Configuration > Server > Tuning**\\ \\ {{ :litespeed_wiki:config:brotli:brotli-server-2.png?nolink&800 |}}
+  - Scroll down to **Brotli Compression** and click **Edit**.\\ \\ {{ :litespeed_wiki:config:brotli:brotli-server-3.png?nolink&800 |}}
+  - Set **Enable Brotli Compression** to ''No''\\ \\ {{ :litespeed_wiki:config:brotli:brotli-server-4.png?nolink&800 |}}
+  - Save and perform a Graceful Restart to apply the change.\\ \\ {{ :litespeed_wiki:config:brotli:brotli-5.png?nolink&800 |}} \\ {{ :litespeed_wiki:config:brotli:brotli-6.png?nolink&800 |}}
+Brotli compression should now be disabled server wide.
+===== Disable Brotli Compression on a Per Account/Domain Basis =====
+As of LiteSpeed Web Server v5.2.2, Brotli compression can be disabled on a per account/domain basis through Apache configuration and .htaccess files. In previous versions, Brotli could only be disabled server wide.
+==== LiteSpeed Web Server ====
+  - Log in to the  LSWS Web Admin GUI and navigate to **Configuration > Virtual Hosts**\\ \\ {{ :litespeed_wiki:config:brotli:brotli-1.png?nolink&800 |}} \\
+  - Select a virtual host and click on  the **General** tab\\ \\ {{ :litespeed_wiki:config:brotli:brotli-2.png?nolink&800 |}} \\
+  - Scroll down to the **Apache Style Configurations** setting and click **Edit**\\ \\ {{ :litespeed_wiki:config:brotli:brotli-3.png?nolink&800 |}} \\
+  - Add the following to the text box: ''SetEnv no-brotli''\\ \\ {{ :litespeed_wiki:config:brotli:brotli-4.png?nolink&800 |}} \\
+  - Save and perform a Graceful Restart to apply these changes. The virtual host should no longer be using brotli compression.\\ \\ {{ :litespeed_wiki:config:brotli:brotli-5.png?nolink&800 |}} \\ {{ :litespeed_wiki:config:brotli:brotli-6.png?nolink&800 |}}
+==== cPanel/WHM ====
+The ‘''no-brotli''’ tag can be enabled selectively through virtual host include files, such as:
+  * Without SSL: ''/etc/apache2/conf.d/userdata/std/2_4/$USER/yourdomain.com/brotli.conf''
+  * With SSL: ''/etc/apache2/conf.d/userdata/ssl/2_4/$USER/yourdomain.com/brotli.conf''
+By adding the following block:
+<code>
+<IfModule LiteSpeed>
+    SetEnv no-brotli
+</IfModule>
+</code>
+Perform a Graceful Restart to apply these changes. The account should no longer be using brotli compression.\\ \\
+**Note:** For more information on how to edit virtual host include files please see  [[https://documentation.cpanel.net/display/EA/Modify+Virtualhost+Containers+With+Include+Files|How To Modify Virtualhost Containers With Include Files]] in cPanel documentation.
+==== .htaccess ====
+To disable brotli compression via an ''.htaccess'' file, simply add:
+<code>
+SetEnv no-brotli
+</code>
+This method allows brotli compression to be disabled for certain sub folders/files without the need for a Graceful Restart.
