Resolved Enabling/disabling brotli and gzip

[Zoo3]

Server operating system version

CentOS 7.9

Plesk version and microupdate number

18.0.48

I recently learned that Plesk has introduced brotli. And it is automatically enabled.
I primarily run Nextcloud on nginx and it has been using gzip. I am not sure which is superior in Nextcloud, do I need to explicitly disable either? I disable brotli if I use gzip, and gzip if I use brotli.

You can enable both compression methods. The browser will choose the appropriate one. Modern browsers which support brotli send 'br' along with 'gzip' in accept-encoding request header. If brotli is enabled on your webserver, you will get a response in the brotli compressed method.

Thank you very much.

How do I enable both? Looks like our server only sends brotli and has no fallback to gzip?

I found the answer: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/213380049
It now supports both encodings, depending on the request.
