It'd be good to try with Brotli compression too; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brotli

A new compression algorithm from Google, which is already used for web-fonts. Currently usable in Chrome & Firefox.

Replacing deflate with brotli typically gives an increase of 20% in compression density for text files, while compression and decompression speeds are roughly unchanged

Scroll down to the bottom of each page (e.g. http://minime.stephan-brumme.com/jquery/2.2.0/ ). There you will find a comparison of the major non-DEFLATE algorithms, such as Brotli, RAR, 7z, xz, bzip2.
