Hey hi, you can customize the HTTP compression profile. In the compression profile setting specify the MIME types for PNG and JPEG images to check that only these types are compressed and other content types will not be compressed since the backend servers are already handling them. On the other hand you can compress you images by using any online application such as [https://jpegcompressor.com/](https://jpegcompressor.com/) it compress images without losing their quality.
