"configure your web server to host .unityweb files using gzip compression"

Unity Engine
1

Hi guys,

I’m trying out my game as WebGL but the loading takes forever and the game is only 35MB. I actually thought it crashed but after 10 minutes it finally did start.

The Google Chrome developer log showed me this:

I have bold’ed the two interesting parts.

I am already publishing to gzip (see attached screenshot), so what does the comment mean about hosting .unityweb files using gzip compression? What is it referring to?

Also, what can I do about the WebAssembly.Module error? Is it the reason why everything loads so slow?

Thanks. :slight_smile:

You have to configure the server where your game is hosted to serve the files with the header “Content-Encoding: gzip” or br for those that use brotli.

how do you configure it though? is it just placing files in the right folder, or something more? having same issues. edit: got it, yeh just had to edit the file and do a bit of trail and error it works, amazing! loving unity and webgl right now.

lol back to this the htaccess file doesnt seem to be working when i compressed with brotli, or maybe i missed something simple.

The htaccess configuration for brotli is different than gzip and uncompressed. make sure you have the right configutarion
