app.use(compression({
  // Compression level: 1 (fastest) to 9 (smallest). Default is zlib.Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION (6).
  level: 6,

  // Only compress responses above this byte threshold
  threshold: 1024, // 1KB

// Ensure Vary: Accept-Encoding is set for correct CDN caching
app.use((_req, res, next) => {
  res.setHeader('Vary', 'Accept-Encoding');
  next();

// -- Your routes --------------------------------------------------------------
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
  res.json({ message: 'Hello, compressed world!' });
});

app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('Server running on http://localhost:3000');
});

// -- Brotli support note ------------------------------------------------------
// The 'compression' package only supports GZIP and DEFLATE.
// For Brotli support in Express, use 'shrink-ray-current' instead:
//
//   npm install shrink-ray-current
//
//   const shrinkRay = require('shrink-ray-current');
//   app.use(shrinkRay());
//
// Or use 'express-static-gzip' to serve pre-compressed .br and .gz files:
//   npm install express-static-gzip
