+## Changing the compression algorithm
+
+To change your compression algorithm, you will need to configure your custom server and set the `compress` option to `false` in your `next.config.js` file.
+
+For example, you're using [nginx](https://www.nginx.com/) and want to switch to `brotli`, set the `compress` option to `false` to allow nginx to handle compression.
