Overview

Improved Web Performance with HTTP Compression

For Faster Page Loads & Bandwidth Savings.

Reducing file size is the best way to speed your Web content. HTTP compression allows content to be served up to 50 times faster while reducing bandwidth costs. httpZip compresses content to as little as 2% of original size with flawless decompression ensured by real-time browser compatibility checking.

Better Control Over Your File Compression

httpZip offers more robust and user-friendly compression controls over native IIS compression.
