EdgeNext Documentation

Gzip Compression is a widely supported content compression technology that significantly reduces the size of text-based resources (such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, JSON, etc.), thereby speeding up page load times and reducing bandwidth usage.
Security CDN supports enabling Gzip compression, allowing edge nodes to dynamically compress specified file types before delivering them to clients. This feature enhances performance, especially in mobile networks and high-latency environments

Notes

1. Currently supported file types for compression include:
   text/html, text/plain, text/xml, text/css, text/javascript, text/x-javascript, application/xml, application/xml+css, application/rss+xml, application/javascript, application/x-javascript, application/json, image/svg+xml, image/tiff, image/x-icon, image/vnd.microsoft.icon
2. Common image formats (PNG, JPG, JPEG, etc.) and video formats (MP4, AVI, WMV, etc.) are typically already compressed and therefore are not subjected to Gzip compression.
3. If MD5 checksum verification with the origin server files is required, please do not enable this feature.
