How to GZip content enabled in ASP.NET and GoDaddy

Enable Gzip compression in ASP.NET using web.config configuration .

Referring to the article “Best Practices for Speeding Up Your Web Site” from YUI,  Gzip compression reduces the response time. Gzip compression generally reduces the response size by about 70% and approximate 90% of today’s internet traffic travels through browsers. After searching around for answer on how to implement gzip compression on ASP.NET application, I found the solution below is the easiest to implement.

Add the configuration shown below in the in web.config file. This configuration setup enable gzip compression on static and on dynamic content. I have tried it on GoDaddy’s Windows Shared Hosting and it works fine.

Enable Gzip compression in ASP.NET using web.config configuration.

<system.webServer>
  <httpCompression directory="%SystemDrive%\inetpub\temp\IIS Temporary Compressed Files">
    <scheme name="gzip" dll="%Windir%\system32\inetsrv\gzip.dll"/>
    <dynamicTypes>
      <add mimeType="text/*" enabled="true"/>
      <add mimeType="message/*" enabled="true"/>
      <add mimeType="application/javascript" enabled="true"/>
      <add mimeType="*/*" enabled="false"/>
    </dynamicTypes>
    <staticTypes>
      <add mimeType="text/*" enabled="true"/>
      <add mimeType="message/*" enabled="true"/>
      <add mimeType="application/javascript" enabled="true"/>
      <add mimeType="*/*" enabled="false"/>
    </staticTypes>
  </httpCompression>
  <urlCompression doStaticCompression="true" doDynamicCompression="true"/>
</system.webServer>

This implementation is confirmed with Firebug as shown in the snapshot taken below.

Check dot net core framework version in my PC Or System

 Open My Computer → double click "C:" drive → double click "Windows" → double click "Microsoft.NET" → double click "Framework" → Inside this folder, there will be folder(s) like "v1.0.3705" and/or "v2.0.50727" and/or "v3.5" and/or "v4.0.30319". Your latest .NET version would be in the highest v number folder, so if v4.0.30319 is available that would hold your latest .NET framework. However, the v4.0.30319 does not mean that you have the .NET framework version 4.0. The v4.0.30319 is your Visual C# compiler version, therefore, in order to find the .NET framework version do the following. Go to a command prompt and follow this path: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319 (or whatever the highest v number folder) C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319 > csc.exe Output: Microsoft (R) Visual C# Compiler version 4.0.30319.17929 for Microsoft (R) .NET Framework 4.5 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporati...
