Smart Compression

Precautions

• Do not enable this function if MD5 verification has been configured for your origin server. When CDN compresses static files, the MD5 value is changed. As a result, the MD5 value of the compressed file is different from that of the file on the origin server.
• Some browsers do not support Brotli compression. Check supported browsers on this website.
• You cannot enable smart compression for domain names with special configurations.
• If both gzip and Brotli compression are enabled, Brotli compression is preferentially performed.
• General image files (such as PNG, JPG, and JPEG) and video files (such as MP4, AVI, and WMV) have already been compressed. Therefore, you do not need to enable smart compression (gzip or Brotli) for these files.
