MetaCompress

MetaCompress is an ISAPI compression filter for IIS (Internet Information Server). Most popular browsers (including Internet Explorer, Opera) support compressed content as well as the original HTML pages.

If the client browser supports compressed content, MetaCompress packs the requested information on the fly. Otherwise, it leaves the server response content unchanged. This feature gives you an undeniable advantage: your site pages will load several times faster. This increases the availability of your sites for users who have a slow dial-up connection (14400-19200 bps) and speeds up the loading of your site in general.

Main advantages:

• Increases page loading by 3-5 times;
• Reduces server traffic by 20-60% (depending on site content);
• Supports compression when using the HTTP/1.0 protocol;
• Keeps a log of the work and makes it possible to analyze the work of the filter;
• Uncomplicated settings. There is no need to restart IIS when changing settings;
• Simple installation and uninstallation process.

This filter is most useful if your sites contain a large amount of textual information. For example:

• Forums or Web - email clients;
• News portals, sites with documentation, virtual libraries;
• Article directories, etc.
