-By default, `@fastify/compress` will use Brotli compression (on Node >= 11.7.0) when browsers indicate support for the encoding. While Brotli is quite efficient in terms of compression ratio, it's also quite slow. Due to this, you may want to tell fastify-compress to only use deflate and gzip to compress responses; you'll end up with larger responses but they'll be delivered much more quickly.
+By default, `@fastify/compress` will use Brotli compression (on Node >= 11.7.0) when browsers indicate support for the encoding. While Brotli can be quite efficient in terms of compression ratio, it can also be quite slow. By default, Brotli sets a maximum compression quality of 11, although it can be adjusted to reduce compression time in lieu of compression quality by adjusting the `BROTLI_PARAM_QUALITY` between 0 min and 11 max. This will require fine tuning to optimize space/time performance. An example with quality 4: 
+
+```typescript
+import { constants } from 'zlib';
+// somewhere in your initialization file
+await app.register(compression, { brotliOptions: { params: { [constants.BROTLI_PARAM_QUALITY]: 4 } } });
+```

+To simplify, you may want to tell `fastify-compress` to only use deflate and gzip to compress responses; you'll end up with potentially larger responses but they'll be delivered much more quickly.
 
 To specify encodings, provide a second argument to `app.register`:
