Even using the highest compression levels, barely any difference. Not worth it

If I understand correctly gzip, brotli and similar are best used to compress text.

Font files also shouldn't be compressed. A TTF file compresses a bit, but a WOFF2 file will be even smaller than that (and WOFF2 also doesn't compress well). So might as well use WOFF/WOFF2

Compression algos should be used on uncompressed data. Using them on already compressed data (most video, images, music formats) is generally useless.
