There you can find the official minified version, too, which brings down the size to 160737 bytes (157.0k, 26%).

perma-link to the smallest file on my server:
http://minime.stephan-brumme.com/files/dojo/dojo-1.9.3.min.js (or via HTTPS)

You will automatically get the smallest Dojo 1.9.3 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

Save 3099 bytes by using my Dojo 1.9.3 Zopfli version instead of the best available CDN (5.93% smaller than cdnjs, 52217 vs. 55316 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 --mls2 --bsr7 --lazy --ohh

(found January 30, 2020)
Description Value Parameter
iterations 1000000  --i1000000
maximum blocks 8  --mb8
maximum length score 2  --mls2
block splitting recursion 7  --bsr7
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 (52214 bytes).

Verify file integrity

After decompression, my uncompressed files are identical to the original ones:

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 52237 bytes 100%
1,000 52229 bytes -8 bytes 100%
10,000 52222 bytes -7 bytes 100%
100,000 52218 bytes -4 bytes 1.45%
1,000,000 52217 bytes -1 byte 0.29%
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
52435 bytes +218 bytes (+0.42%) +56 bytes
52379 bytes +162 bytes (+0.31%)
52395 bytes +178 bytes (+0.34%) +16 bytes
52434 bytes +217 bytes (+0.42%) +55 bytes
52468 bytes +251 bytes (+0.48%) +89 bytes
52487 bytes +270 bytes (+0.52%) +108 bytes

52525 bytes +308 bytes (+0.59%) +146 bytes
52533 bytes +316 bytes (+0.61%) +154 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):


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.
