PipeBoost

IIS content compression

Our Rating: (Very Good)

PipeBoost is server side acceleration product that dynamically compresses content served out by your IIS 4/5 server before it is sent to the browser. This dramatically reduces the time it takes the document to load in the users browser and also cuts down on bandwidth usage. PipeBoost runs on IIS 4.0, 5.x. It offers Flexible File Compression Management, which allows site managers to specify a custom compression strategy. PipeBoost allows global compression or can limit it by website or virtual websites, files in a directory and/or only individual files and mime type. While we did not compare the compression results between PipeBoost and the standard IIS HTTP compression, PipeBoost clearly offers a much greater flexdibility than IISs built in compression (which can only be turned on server-wide). The software runs as an ISAPI filter and installs easily without any problems or further adjustments.
