Do you want to both save money and speed the load time of your web pages? Then check out IIS’s built-in compression feature.

You can access it from the IIS management console:

Then make sure both of these boxes are checked.

There are some very rare situations where the compression conflicts with an application – but they are VERY rare and it is so fast and easy to turn off if needed, that I encourage everyone to try out the setting and leave it enabled unless you specifically fine an issue.

BTW – in the example above I used Microsoft’s IIS Manager for Remote Administration which is support at both OrcsWeb’s managed hosting plans and Cytanium’s discount shared hosting plans.

Happy hosting!
