🚀 DeploySlim: Supercharge Website Speed & SEO with Brotli & Gzip Compression (Free!)

Optimized for All Websites & Runs Seamlessly on Linux & Windows Build Servers

Dramatically improve your website's performance and search engine rankings by automatically compressing your web assets (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, SVG, JSON, XML, WASM, and more) within your GitHub Actions workflow! DeploySlim utilizes cutting-edge Brotli and widely compatible Gzip compression to significantly reduce file sizes. This results in lightning-fast load times, enhanced user experience, and a boost in SEO, regardless of your website's technology or your chosen build server environment on GitHub Actions.

Seamlessly integrates with any website – static, dynamic, or built with any framework or generator. Runs flawlessly on both Linux (ubuntu-latest) and Windows (windows-latest) build agents provided by GitHub Actions.

✨ Key Benefits

• ⚡️ Universal Website Optimization: Accelerate the loading speed of any website by reducing the size of compressible text-based assets.
• 📈 Maximize SEO Performance: Achieve better search engine visibility. Faster loading times are a critical ranking factor for Google and other search engines.
• 💾 Reduce Bandwidth Costs: Lower file sizes translate to less data transfer during deployment and for your website visitors, saving valuable bandwidth.
• ✅ Industry-Leading Compression: Leverages both Brotli (br) for the highest compression ratios and Gzip (gz) for excellent browser compatibility.
• 🧠 Intelligent Asset Handling: Automatically detects and compresses relevant text-based web files based on their MIME types.
• ⚙️ Granular Control: Easily configure compression levels for both Brotli (0-11) and Gzip (0-9) to fine-tune the balance between file size and compression speed.
• 🛠️ Effortless Integration: Add to your existing GitHub Actions workflow in minutes with minimal configuration.
• 💻 Cross-Platform Compatibility: Designed to run smoothly on both Linux (ubuntu-latest) and Windows (windows-latest) virtual environments provided by GitHub Actions.
• 🆓 Completely Free: DeploySlim is a free and open-source GitHub Action.

⚙️ Simple Usage in Your Workflow

Integrate DeploySlim into your deployment workflow file (e.g., deploy.yml) with these straightforward steps:

name: Deploy with Compression

on: [push] # Or your preferred workflow trigger (e.g., pull_request, release)

jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest # Or use `windows-latest` for Windows builds

    steps:
      - name: Checkout code
        uses: actions/checkout@v4

      # ... Your website build process (e.g., npm build, Hugo, Jekyll) ...

      - name: Compress Assets with DeploySlim
        uses: CornerstoneCode/DeploySlim@v1
        with:
          directory: './public' # ⚠️ Replace with the path to your website's build output directory (e.g., public, dist, _site)
          algorithms: 'br,gz' # Optional: Specify compression algorithms (default: br,gz)
          brotli-level: 9      # Optional: Set Brotli compression level (0-11, default: 11) - Higher level = smaller files, longer processing
          gzip-level: 7        # Optional: Set Gzip compression level (0-9, default: 9) - Higher level = smaller files, longer processing

      # ... Your website deployment steps (e.g., deploying to Netlify, Vercel, AWS S3) ...
