perma-link to the smallest file on my server:
http://minime.stephan-brumme.com/files/bootstrap/bootstrap-3.3.2.min.js (or via HTTPS)

You will automatically get the smallest Bootstrap 3.3.2 file, ETag caching is available and
if your browser doesn't support GZIP decompression then the uncompressed version will be sent.

Save 354 bytes by using my Bootstrap 3.3.2 Zopfli version instead of the best available CDN (3.92% smaller than jsdelivr, 9025 vs. 9379 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 --i1000000 --mb8 --mls256 --bsr25 --lazy --ohh

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 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 9030 bytes – 100%
1,000 9028 bytes -2 bytes 100%
10,000 9026 bytes -2 bytes 100%
100,000 9026 bytes – 6.09%
1,000,000 9025 bytes -1 byte 6.09%
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) 9089 bytes +64 bytes (+0.71%) +1 byte
1 9088 bytes +63 bytes (+0.70%) –
2 9091 bytes +66 bytes (+0.73%) +3 bytes
3 9093 bytes +68 bytes (+0.75%) +5 bytes

8 9283 bytes +258 bytes (+2.86%) +195 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

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.
