Microsoft IIS Compression

Microsoft IIS Compression is a software add-on by Microsoft Corporation that can compress static and dynamic web content served through the Internet Information Services (IIS) web server. This feature provides faster page load times by reducing the amount of data that needs to be transmitted over the network from a web server to a client device.

When enabled, Microsoft IIS Compression compresses content using standard compression algorithms such as Gzip and deflate. This means that files such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and XML can be compressed before they are sent to a requesting client. However, Microsoft IIS Compression can also be used to compress HTTP responses generated by server-side technology such as ASP.NET and PHP.

This compression feature supports static as well as dynamic compression levels so that website owners can choose how much compression they want to apply to their files. By default, compression is turned on for IIS 7.0, 8.0, and 10.0.

Microsoft IIS Compression helps improve website performance by reducing download times and using less bandwidth, which improves the user experience.
