Static file responses with no compression or content-encoding header

Hi,

Some of my JS assets are being returned with compression. There is no content-encoding: br header and the response sizes are the file size ( approx 3mb). I did a simple test to see if the file would be smaller when zipped up and it’s about 30% of the size - it’s a valid candidate for compression.

Request includes this header:

accept-encoding: gzip, deflate, br, zstd

There is no proxy and files are being requested directly from Netlify.

This is my netlify.toml file:

[build]
command = "npm run build"

# Disable Netlify’s default trailing slash redirects [context.production.environment]
TRAILING_SLASH = "ignore"

[[redirects]]
from = "/sitemap.xml"
to = "/sitemap.xml"
status = 200

There is no _headers file in my public directory.

This “was” working nicely but for whatever reason it has stopped. Is this something I can configure or somehow turn back on?

Many thanks in advance

JT
