I have an issue as Pingdom does not detect 100/100 as GZIP is validated but Pingdom has a false signal.
So, my question is very simple.

How to test GZIP and Pingdom as 100/100?
Is it possible that CloudFlare compressed file as Brotli and Pingdom has false signal?

A little bizarre, but yes, it looks like the Pingdom test doesn't support Brotli and will give you a failing grade for not using gzip compression even when that is the backup for Brotli when the client doesn't support it (so their test browser supports Brotli).

Goes to show why you shouldn't care about such test scores. They're not a reliable measure of site speed, you should use RUM for that.
