My webpack bundle is quite heavy (2.3mb). I recently read articles about brotli compression, but all of them talk about a classic set up with js files served by a server. So the compression happens in the backend. My question may be stupid, but is it possible to apply such a compression to my webpack chunks in a React app (I already use Terser plugin default configuration)?

This kind of compression should be handled by the server in realtime in my opinion but you can build brotli compression of your files via webpack plugins as well please check out:
https://webpack.js.org/plugins/compression-webpack-plugin/#using-brotli
please note that only build files will have brotli compression here not API calls and other assets.
