5 cents about lz4 alternatives: Broli (mentioned above) is widely supported by web.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Accept-Encoding mentions it along with gzip and deflate methods. I don't recall lz4 or Zstd metioning in this context. Both Chrome/Chromium and Firefox accepts it by default (didn't check Microsoft products yet). P.S. I worked with lz4 python binding a year ago. It sometimes crashed to core dump when used in multithreaded environment (we used to run compressor/decompresson with asyncio by loop.run_in_executor() call). I hope the bug is fixed now, have no update for the current state.
