Per-domain rule
Type
boolean
Default
true

Turns on response compression for the domain. Which algorithms are offered is controlled by compression_flags; the proxy negotiates the best one the client accepts.

Already-compressed content
Images, video and archives are already compressed — re-compressing wastes CPU for no gain. The proxy focuses compression on text types where it pays off.
