Installation

There are two ways to add integrations to your project. Letโ€™s try the most convenient option first!

(experimental) astro add command

Astro includes a CLI tool for adding first party integrations: astro add. This command will:

  1. (Optionally) Install all necessary dependencies and peer dependencies
  2. (Also optionally) Update your astro.config.* file to apply this integration

To install astro-compress, run the following from your project directory and follow the prompts:

# Using NPM
npx astro add astro-compress
# Using Yarn
yarn astro add astro-compress
# Using PNPM
pnpx astro add astro-compress

Install dependencies manually

First, install the astro-compress integration like so:

npm install astro-compress

Then, apply this integration to your astro.config.* file using the integrations property:

astro.config.mjs

import { defineConfig } from "astro/config";
import compress from "astro-compress";

export default defineConfig({
    // ...
    integrations: [compress()],
});

Getting started

The utility should now automatically compress all your CSS, HTML and JavaScript files in the dist folder.

The following image file types will also be compressed.

  • avci
  • avcs
  • avif
  • avifs
  • gif
  • heic
  • heics
  • heif
  • heifs
  • jfif
  • jif
  • jpe
  • jpeg
  • jpg
  • png
  • raw
  • tiff
  • webp

SVG compression is supported, as well via svgo.

You can override any of the default options from the configurations of:

or disable them entirely:

import { defineConfig } from "astro/config";
import compress from "astro-compress";

export default defineConfig({
    integrations: [
        compress({
            css: false,
            html: false,
            js: false,
            img: false,
            svg: false,
        }),
    ],
});

If your path is different than dist be sure to update it accordingly:

import { defineConfig } from "astro/config";
import compress from "astro-compress";

export default defineConfig({
    outDir: "./build",
    integrations: [
        compress({
            path: "./build",
        }),
    ],
});

Set logger to 0 if you do not want to see debug messages. Default is 2.

import { defineConfig } from "astro/config";
import compress from "astro-compress";

export default defineConfig({
    integrations: [
        compress({
            logger: 0,
        }),
    ],
});
