Azure CDN Verizon Premium层能否传输已压缩的大体积JS文件？

Absolutely, you can send the pre-compressed version of your JS file from your origin server along with the correct headers—this is actually the ideal solution for your scenario! Let me break this down clearly:

Why this works #

The Verizon Premium CDN's restriction you mentioned (not compressing uncompressed files over 1MB) only applies to on-the-fly compression performed by the CDN itself. If your origin server sends an already-compressed file, the CDN will respect that and simply cache and deliver the compressed content to end users, without attempting to re-compress it.

Key headers you need to set on the origin #

Make sure your origin server includes these HTTP headers when serving the pre-compressed file:

• Content-Encoding: gzip (or br if you used Brotli compression instead)
• Content-Length: Set this to the exact size of the compressed file (1-2MB in your case)

These headers tell the CDN and end-user browsers that the content is already compressed, so they'll handle it correctly.

Important notes #

• Most modern browsers support both gzip and Brotli, so you don't have to worry about compatibility issues for the vast majority of users.
• Double-check your CDN's cache rules to ensure there's no custom configuration blocking cached compressed content—by default, Verizon Premium allows this, but it's worth verifying if you've modified any settings.
• If you instead sent the uncompressed 5MB file to the CDN, it would skip compression (due to the 1MB limit) and deliver the full uncompressed file to users, which would hurt load times. Pre-compressing at the origin avoids this entirely.

So your initial assumption is correct—sending the pre-compressed file with the right headers is the way to go here.
