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.

ASP.NET Routing

ASP.NET routing enables you to use URLs that do not have to map to specific files in a Web site. Because the URL does not have to map to a file, you can use URLs that are descriptive of the user's action and therefore are more easily understood by users. The ASP.NET MVC framework and ASP.NET Dynamic Data extend routing to provide features that are used only in MVC applications and in Dynamic Data applications. For more information about MVC, see ASP.NET MVC 3 . For more information about Dynamic Data, see ASP.NET Dynamic Data Content Map . In an ASP.NET application that does not use routing, an incoming request for a URL typically maps to a physical file that handles the request, such as an .aspx file. For example, a request for http://server/application/Products.aspx?id=4 maps to a file that is named Products.aspx that contains code and markup for rendering a response to the browser. The Web page uses the query string value of id=4 to determine what type of c...
