Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, there is no way to configure gzip compression directly through the UI. Instead, users have to manually define it in the “Advanced” section using custom configurations, which is less convenient and limits the purpose of having a simple, centralized management interface.
Additionally, when enabling asset caching, there is no option to define custom cache durations. Users are forced to use the default values or make manual adjustments as well, which is time-consuming and not very user-friendly.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be helpful to have a built-in option in the UI to directly enable and configure gzip compression (e.g., on/off, compression level, file types) without needing to use the “Advanced” section.
For asset caching, it would be useful to have a simple way to manually define cache durations (e.g., 1 hour, 6 hours, 1 day, custom value) to improve flexibility and usability.

Describe alternatives you've considered
The current alternative is to manually define the configurations in the “Advanced” section. However, this is less convenient, error-prone, and goes against the idea of managing everything easily through the UI.
