Deploy and configure IIS 6 native compression

HTTP compression speeds up file delivery across the Internet, keeps your users happy with quick page loads, and dramatically reduces bandwidth costs. Unlike IIS 4 and 5 (Windows NT/2000), Windows Server 2003 with IIS 6.0 now offers out-of-the-box compression embedded into the core Web server code itself. ZipEnable allows you to easily get the absolute most out of IIS 6 built-in compression. While Port80 Software's httpZip is the best ISAPI compression solution for Windows Web servers, we highly recommend that you use the internal compression engine in IIS 6.0 - it's lightning fast, incurs minimal resource penalties, and you already bought it when you bought the OS. The one major drawback to IIS 6.0 native compression is a lack of configurability via the Web server management interface. IIS 6.0 does not provide a graphical interface to the majority of controls, and necessities like site level compression, compression schemes, and all advanced settings are only accessible via a labor-intensive programmatic interface. With ZipEnable, you now have more than an "ON/OFF" choice and can granularly manage IIS 6.0 native compression at the global, site, directory, and file levels -- without writing a single line of code or editing the IIS metabase. You can easily configure compression on all static and dynamic files, including both those that are compressed by default (HTML and ASP) and those that are not (JavaScript, CSS, Cold Fusion, PHP, etc.). ZipEnable also provides real-time browser compatibility checking to make sure that you only send compressed content to browsers that can handle decompression, and CPU roll-off to keep compression CPU cycles within your comfort zone. ZipEnable is available as a free, fully functional 30-day trial, and, like all Port80 Software products, ZipEnable includes free technical support. IIS 6 compression works -- you just need ZipEnable to manage it safely!
