 > On a similar topic (and discussed in this other post:
 https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/02/22/proposal-increase-the-default-
 image-compression-in-wordpress/#comments) I'm not sure why this can't be a
 setting in the "media" options area, along with the other media options?

 Thanks for the feedback @simonrcodrington. While I agree that many users
 may find it helpful to set compression settings via an option on the media
 settings page, the trend has been to remove options and not add new ones
 as much as possible. I think it would make a great feature plugin for
 anyone who wants the ability to edit compression settings (or other hidden
 media settings) from the admin screen, rather than by code in a
 functionality plugin or a function.php file in a theme. A separate plugin
 would allow for more experimentation with different UI controls as well.
