Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

gzip/brotli static middleware for connect - serves compressed files if they exist, falls through to connect-static if they don't

Readme

connect-gzip-static

Middleware for [connect]: serves compressed files if they exist, falls through to connect-static if they don't, or if browser does not send 'Accept-Encoding' header.

You should use connect-gzip-static if your build process already creates compressed (using gzip or [brotli]) files. If you want to compress your data on the fly use [compression] middleware. And if you want to compress your files dynamically you may want to look up [connect gzip].

Installation

npm install @figliolia/static-compression
# or
yarn add @figliolia/static-compression

Options

gzip-static is meant to be a drop in replacement for [connect static] middleware. Use the same options as you would with [connect static].

Usage

import staticCompression from 'connect-gzip-static';
const oneDay = 86400000;

connect()
  .use(staticCompression(__dirname + '/public'))

connect()
  .use(staticCompression(__dirname + '/public', { maxAge: oneDay }))

How it works

We start by locating all compressed files (ie. files with .gz and .br extensions) in root directory. All HTTP GET and HTTP HEAD requests with Accept-Encoding header set to gzip are checked against the list of compressed files and, if possible, fulfilled by returning the compressed versions. If compressed version is not found or if the request does not have an appropriate Accept- Encoding header, the request is processed in the same way as standard static middleware would handle it.

Debugging

This project uses [debug] module. To enable the debug log, just set the debug enviromental variable:

DEBUG="connect:static-compression"
