apply_filters( ‘jpeg_quality’, int $quality, string $context )

Filters the JPEG compression quality for backward-compatibility.

Description

Applies only during initial editor instantiation, or when set_quality() is run manually without the $quality argument.

The WP_Image_Editor::set_quality() method has priority over the filter.

The filter is evaluated under two contexts: ‘image_resize’, and ‘edit_image’, (when a JPEG image is saved to file).

Parameters

$qualityint: Quality level between 0 (low) and 100 (high) of the JPEG.
$contextstring: Context of the filter.

Source

$quality = apply_filters( 'jpeg_quality', $quality, 'image_resize' );

To change JPEG Compression, temporarily add the below code to functions.php then refresh the site to re-compress all thumbnails on the site.
```
function my_prefix_regenerate_thumbnail_quality() {
	return 80;

}

add_filter( 'jpeg_quality', 'my_prefix_regenerate_thumbnail_quality');
```
- “Refresh(ing) the site” is not going to recompress the images. For this you’ll need to regenerate all thumbnails and derived sizes using a plugin for this purpose.
