Unlock the Native Compression Features in IIS 6.0
ZipEnable 4.0: Now with 64-Bit Support
HTTP compression speeds up file delivery, reduces bandwidth costs, and reduces server load. ZipEnable extends the built-in "On/Off" compression in IIS 6.0. The native compression is fast, incurs minimal resource penalties, and is included in the purchase of the OS. However, there are drawbacks to the built-in tools.
Without ZipEnable:
- No browser compatibility checking. Without this feature, you risk sending compressed content to a browser incapable of decompression.
- Limited configuration options.
- No graphical interface for most controls.
With ZipEnable:
- Verify browser compatibility in real time.
- Quickly deploy HTTP compression with ZipEnable's configuration wizard.
- Granularly manage compression at the global, site, directory, and file levels – without writing a single line of code or editing the IIS metabase.
