The Adaptive Image Compression feature compresses JPEG images depending on the requesting network's performance, thus improving response time. The behavior specifies three performance tiers based on round-trip tests: 1 for excellent, 2 for good, and 3 for poor. It assigns separate performance criteria for mobile (cellular) and non-mobile networks, which the compress_​mobile and compress_​standard options enable independently.

There are six method options, one for each tier and type of network. If the method is COMPRESS, choose from among the six corresponding slider options to specify a percentage. As an alternative to compression, setting the method to STRIP removes unnecessary application-generated metadata from the image. Setting the method to BYPASS serves clients the original image.

The behavior serves ETags headers as a data signature for each adapted variation. In case of error or if the file size increases, the behavior serves the original image file. Flushing the original image from the edge cache also flushes adapted variants. The behavior applies to the following image file extensions: jpg, jpeg, jpe, jif, jfif, and jfi.
