Overview
64-bit support - New in Version 4.0 (released March 2009) Windows Server 2003/ IIS 6.0 offers great out-of-the-box compression embedded in the core web server code. ZipEnable is an add-on tool that allows easy configuration and additional features so you get the most out built-in compression. Granularly Manage IIS 6.0 Native Compression Enable Real-time Browser Compatibility Checking - a feature absent with built-in compression Make Changes at Global, Site, Directory, and File levels Access Via a GUI Settings Manager -- without writing a line of code or editing the IIS metabase Easily Configure Compression on All Static and Dynamic Files CPU roll-off keeps compression CPU cycles in check. IIS 6 compression works -- you just need ZipEnable to deploy and manage it safely. ZipEnable is available as a Free 30-Day Trial , and, like all Port80 Software products, ZipEnable includes free IIS technical support.
Features
- Global Compression Configuration
- Enable native HTTP/HTTPS compression on IIS 6.0 for both static (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, XML, Microsoft Office documents, text files and more) and dynamic (ASP, ASP.NET, ColdFusion, PHP, Perl, JSP) files
- Modify compression schemes by file type
- Industry-standard Gzip and Deflate compression schemes
- Set level of compression (1-10) for each scheme
- Granular control of acceptable file extensions for compression
- Site-Level Configuration
- Configure compression at directory and file levels for individual virtual servers (sites)
- Tree view makes for easy navigation and configuration
- Powerful Persistent Overrides feature allows you to keep global and site level compression settings in order
- Browser Compatibility Detection -- the only solution for safe IIS 6.0 compression
- Real-time check identifies a user's browser and automatically delivers compressed/uncompressed content accordingly

- CPU Roll-off option
- Automatically dial back compression rates for periods of unusually heavy traffic to guarantee that compression does not overwork your CPU
- Configure CPU utilization threshold for compression roll-off
- Advanced features
