38% The original file has 49341 bytes (48.2k) and is available from the project website.
There you can find the official minified version, too, which brings down the size to 18694 bytes (18.3k, 38%).

After GZIP compression these minified files vary in size:

perma-link to the smallest file on my server:
http://minime.stephan-brumme.com/files/jquery/jquery-1.0.2.pack.js (or via HTTPS)

You will automatically get the smallest jQuery 1.0.2 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 --mls2048 --bsr25 --lazy --ohh

(found November 23, 2015)
Description Value Parameter

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 9210 bytes 100%
1,000 9205 bytes -5 bytes 100%
10,000 9205 bytes 100%
100,000 9204 bytes -1 byte 2.32%
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):
Blocks Min. Bytes Compared To Best Zopfli Compared To Best KZIP
9206 bytes +2 bytes (+0.02%)
9385 bytes +181 bytes (+1.97%) +179 bytes
9206 bytes +2 bytes (+0.02%)
9213 bytes +9 bytes (+0.10%) +7 bytes
9235 bytes +31 bytes (+0.34%) +29 bytes
9272 bytes +68 bytes (+0.74%) +66 bytes
9311 bytes +107 bytes (+1.16%) +105 bytes
9348 bytes +144 bytes (+1.56%) +142 bytes
9382 bytes +178 bytes (+1.93%) +176 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.
Algorithm Program Parameters Size Compared To Best Zopfli
Brotli (Wikipedia) brotli brotli -q 11 8522 bytes -682 bytes (-7.41%)

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.
