CacheRight

Speed up repeat Web site and application visits (and reduce server strain) with cache control... A 304 Not Modified Web server response is a waste of time. Why should repeat Web visitors request the same content over and over when it can be cached and accessed faster from a local browser or proxy cache? CacheRight allows developers to easily craft and administer effective cache control policies for every Microsoft IIS site resource through a single rules file -- dramatically speeding up sites and eliminating unnecessary requests for more throughput. Use CacheRight to centralize caching policies rather than creating rules in a one-off fashion via IIS, and deliver faster pages for happier customers and more productive corporate users. Cache control for many developers is limited to using the META tag or relying on the Last-Modified date for a file. Unfortunately, this technique is time consuming, fails to leverage browser and proxy caches, works poorly for HTML output, and does nothing at all for the most cache-worthy items in a site – images! With CacheRight, a simple configuration rules file in the Web site's home directory enables developers to set up rules that control expiration by file location or file type. After first access, unchanging images, PDFs, Flash, multimedia files and other page elements are delivered crisply from the repeat user's browser cache. Dynamic content is served guaranteed fresh, without competing with validation requests and static content for precious server cycles and bandwidth. Send data less often for IIS speed and Web server efficiency with CacheRight! CacheRight is available as a free 30-day trial, and, like all Port80 Software products, CacheRight includes free IIS technical support.
