Dojo 1.13.3 - as small as it gets (near-perfect GZIP compression)

Choose a version:

The original file has 636226 bytes (621.3k) and is available from the project website.
There you can find the official minified version, too, which brings down the size to 166650 bytes (162.7k, 26%).

After GZIP compression these minified files vary in size:

gzip -6 (default)	56074 bytes (54.8k)	local copy
gzip -9	56013 bytes (54.7k)	local copy
libdeflate -12	53364 bytes (52.1k)	local copy
7zip -mx=9 -tgzip	53347 bytes (52.1k)	local copy
zultra	53276 bytes (52.0k)	local copy
kzip -s0 -rn -b4	53258 bytes (52.0k)	local copy
pigz -11 -n	53247 bytes (52.0k)	local copy
Zopfli	53175 bytes (51.9k)	local copy
Zopfli (defluff)	53172 bytes (51.9k)	local copy

perma-link to the smallest file on my server:
http://minime.stephan-brumme.com/files/dojo/dojo-1.13.3.min.js (or via HTTPS)

You will automatically get the smallest Dojo 1.13.3 file, ETag caching is available and
if your browser doesn't support GZIP decompression then the uncompressed version will be sent.

Currently best Zopfli settings

You can use my super-compressed files for whatever purpose you like as long as you respect the library's original license agreement.
There are no restrictions from my side - but please avoid hot-linking if you run a high-traffic website.

These command-line settings yielded the best compression ratio so far (Linux version of zopfli-krzymod):
zopfli --i100000 --mb8 --mls4 --bsr9 --lazy --ohh

(found October 3, 2018)

Description	Value	Parameter
iterations	100000	--i100000
maximum blocks	8	--mb8
maximum length score	4	--mls4
block splitting recursion	9	--bsr9
lazy matching in LZ77	yes	--lazy
optimized Huffman headers	yes	--ohh
initial random W for iterations	1	--rw1
initial random Z for iterations	2	--rz2

Even Smaller Files Thanks To Defluff

Zopfli's output can be further optimized by the defluff tool.
In this particular case, defluff saves 3 more bytes (53172 bytes).

Heatmaps

This Zopfli heatmap visualizes how compression changes when modifying the --bsr and --mls parameter.
Cell's contents is the best filesize achieved (in bytes, hover with mouse over cells to see number of iterations).

Good parameters are green, bad are red. The best and worst are bold as well.
The brightness of the blue background color indicates how many iterations were processed:
10,000, 100,000 or 1,000,000.

Due to the Monte Carlo design of my search algorithm, not all parameters have reached the same number of iterations yet:

Iterations	Min. Bytes	Reduction	Coverage
100	53190 bytes	–	100%
1,000	53188 bytes	-2 bytes	100%
10,000	53182 bytes	-6 bytes	100%
100,000	53175 bytes	-7 bytes	6.09%
1,000,000	53175 bytes	–	2.61%
10,000,000	–	–	–

KZIP has far less options available for tuning/optimization. I only played around with the number of blocks (parameter -n):

Blocks	Min. Bytes	Compared To Best Zopfli	Compared To Best KZIP
(any)	53261 bytes	+86 bytes (+0.16%)	+3 bytes
1	53269 bytes	+94 bytes (+0.18%)	+11 bytes
2	53292 bytes	+117 bytes (+0.22%)	+34 bytes
3	53322 bytes	+147 bytes (+0.28%)	+64 bytes
4	53258 bytes	+83 bytes (+0.16%)	–

7	53287 bytes	+112 bytes (+0.21%)	+29 bytes
8	53332 bytes	+157 bytes (+0.30%)	+74 bytes

Non-DEFLATE Algorithms

Archivers based on completely different compression algorithms often produce superior results.
Unfortunately, browsers only support gzip compression at the moment.
However, support for Brotli is constantly growing - but your browser doesn't support it.

Detailled Analysis

I wrote a DEFLATE decoder in Javascript. Click the button below to start a client-side analysis of the smallest gzipped files (may take a second):

Load and Parse Data

Notes: pigz is a fast open source multi-threaded implementation of gzip written by one of the original authors of gzip.
However, when using compression level 11, pigz actually switches to the slower Zopfli algorithm and isn't multi-threaded anymore.
KrzyMOD's extensions to Zopfli offer the highest level of configuration and is therefore used for my brute-force search.
Ken Silverman wrote the closed-source KZIP compression program and Jonathon Fowler ported it to Linux.
Defluff was created by Joachim Henke; DeflOpt is a tool by Ben Jos Walbeehm.
