Why each option
FastCache cannot store or serve compressed HTTP responses, making it incompatible with gzip or otherwise encoded content.
FastCache is designed to cache and serve uncompressed HTTP objects only; when BIG-IP receives a response that is Content-Encoding compressed (e.g., gzip), FastCache bypasses caching entirely and will not store the object. This is a documented product limitation requiring that compression profiles be considered separately from caching profiles.
False is incorrect because the FastCache feature explicitly cannot cache compressed objects - this restriction is a known, documented limitation of the feature.
