httpZip description
IIS Web server HTTP compression software for bandwidth savings and faster sites

HTTP COMPRESSION IS A POWERFUL, SAFE, AND AFFORDABLE WAY TO SAVE PRECIOUS BANDWIDTH. httpZip is an IIS server module that reduces costs, improves page load times for your site's visitors, and leverages your current Windows server resources - safely and transparently compressing Web pages using HTTP encoding algorithms supported in all modern browsers.

THIS POWERFUL COMPRESSION REDUCES PAGES TO AS LITTLE AS 2% OF THEIR ORIGINAL SIZE. Both static and dynamic pages can be compressed, including ASP, ASP.NET, ColdFusion, PHP, Perl, and JSP. With httpZip's built-in caching feature, pages can be accessed in pre-compressed format, minimizing unnecessary server overhead. httpZip results in faster, more efficient page loads, happier users, reduced transmission costs, and Web servers that can handle more volume.

UNLIKE IIS BUILT-IN COMPRESSION, httpZip addresses browser incompatibilities right out of the box and offers true streaming/chunked transfer encoding. Fully supported for IIS 4, 5, and 6 on Windows NT, 2000, XP, and Server 2003, the software is highly configurable and can be customized to adjust compression rules for particular files, directories, data types and more to ensure an optimal user experience. Multiple interfaces are provided including a graphical interface, an MMC-based interface for server administrators, and a COM interface for ASP, .NET, and ColdFusion developers looking to directly control compression for their Web pages. httpZip is easy to manage and provides powerful logging facilities to monitor your performance gains.

WITH THE BEST COMPRESSION RATES OF ANY 3RD PARTY ISAPI PRODUCT ON THE MARKET, httpZip is fast, powerful, and affordable and will easily pay for itself by reducing bandwidth costs and dramatically improving network response time for Web pages - speeding up e-business transactions and enhancing overall user experience.
