Compression/Brotli

[addyosmani]

Unfortunately, Firebase Hosting's Brotli experiments got switched off. As GCP doesn't really support this either, our best bet might be using Cloudflare for Brotli just to show off the improvements with it.

Alternatively, we could just stick with gzip and remind folks that many large companies have managed to see strong wins with Brotli (e.g LinkedIn improved page load by 7% with it in India).

Another stat:

According to Http Archive data stats, for mid-Match'18 brotli replaced gzip in more than 15% responses. More and more CDNs and services (e.g. BunnyCDN, yandex, jsdelivr, addtoany) support brotli encoding.
