26% The original file has 1612935 bytes (1,575.1k) and is available from the project website.
There you can find the official minified version, too, which brings down the size to 418792 bytes (409.0k, 26%).

perma-link to the smallest file on my server:
http://minime.stephan-brumme.com/files/ember/ember-2.8.0.min.js (or via HTTPS)

You will automatically get the smallest Ember 2.8.0 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

Save 4047 bytes by using my Ember 2.8.0 Zopfli version instead of the best available CDN (3.82% smaller than jsdelivr, 105847 vs. 109894 bytes):

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 --i10000 --mb8 --mls32 --bsr23 --lazy --ohh

(found September 8, 2016)
Description Value Parameter
iterations 10000  --i10000
maximum blocks 8  --mb8
maximum length score 32  --mls32
block splitting recursion 23  --bsr23
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 1 more byte (105846 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 or 100,000.

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 105868 bytes – 100%
1,000 105860 bytes -8 bytes 100%
10,000 105847 bytes -13 bytes 100%
100,000 105847 bytes – 23.48%
1,000,000 – – –
10,000,000 – – –

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

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 - for example, your browser actually supports it !

Detailled Analysis

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.
