ENABLING GZIP FOR FASTER DOWNLOAD

ENABLING GZIP FOR FASTER DOWNLOAD OF WEB PAGE.


Zombi note :The HTTP/1.1 protocol allows for clients to optionally request the compression of content from the server. The standard itself specifies two compression methods: “gzip” and “deflate” Both are supported by many HTTP client libraries and almost all modern browsers.


Enabling gzip at IIS Manager
At IIS Manager (inetmgr.exe) open Web Sites Properties, at Service tab mark Compress application files & Compress static files.
Zombie note :You need to right click the web sites rather than going into specific site and click properties of perticlar website.

Now you need to edit one xml file as below
c:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\MetaBase.xml file.




Zombie note : Before Editing Metabase.xml file stop IIS Services or enable Direct Metabase Edit at Web by going into the peroperties and WEB02 dialog box will appear and check mark the “ENABLE DIRECT METABASE EDIT.”

Edit Metabase.xml with text editor and locate the following lines:
HcFileExtensions
HcScriptFileExtensions
Both of thes keys are mentiond twice in Metabase.xml, for gzip ompression and deflate compression, add the file extention fo gzip compression.

FOLLING SHOWS HOW IT WILL LOOK LIKE

IIsCompressionScheme Location ="/LM/W3SVC/Filters/Compression/deflate"
HcCompressionDll="%windir%\system32\inetsrv\gzip.dll"
HcCreateFlags="0"
HcDoDynamicCompression="TRUE"
HcDoOnDemandCompression="TRUE"
HcDoStaticCompression="FALSE"
HcDynamicCompressionLevel="0"
HcFileExtensions="htm
html
txt
xml
css
js"
HcOnDemandCompLevel="10"
HcPriority="1"
HcScriptFileExtensions="asp
dll
exe
aspx
php"
>

HcCompressionDll="%windir%\system32\inetsrv\gzip.dll"
HcCreateFlags="1"
HcDoDynamicCompression="TRUE"
HcDoOnDemandCompression="TRUE"
HcDoStaticCompression="TRUE"
HcDynamicCompressionLevel="0"
HcFileExtensions="htm
html
txt
xml
css
js"
HcOnDemandCompLevel="10"
HcPriority="1"
HcScriptFileExtensions="asp
dll
exe
aspx
php"
>



To enable or disable gzip per web site
cscript C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts\adsutil.vbs set w3svc/site#/root/DoStaticCompression False
cscript C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts\adsutil.vbs set w3svc/site#/root/DoDynamicCompression False
adding file extention to be compressed can be preformed with this command:
cscript C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts\adsutil.vbs set W3Svc/Filters/Compression/GZIP/HcFileExtensions "htm" "txt" "doc"


CHHERS…NOW TRY TO BROWSE YOUR SITE AND VOOOIIILLLAAAA,IT IS FASTER THAN BEFORE….ENJOYYYYY

High CPU to completely normal CPU - SXA issue, SXA pages not loading in mobile device

  Hi Team, Today i am going to share one of the nightmarish issue with you all, We are having Sitecore 9.1.1 hosted in azure PaaS environment Our site was working just fine and no noise, but we have been working on a feature release where 7-8 months of development needed to be released to production, Big GO LIVE event right?  Also to make the development smoother we also introduced BLUE/GREEN deployment slots in the same release, so we can easily SWAP slots and go live Everything went well, we went live, we even did load and performance testing on our staging and pre-prod and we were confident enough of results Very next day we started getting "SITE DOWN" alerts, and also product owners and clients mentioned that site is very slow for them in US time and in our morning when we were accessing it, it was working lighting fast so we were clue less at start, but we started digging  1) First thing caught our eyes were HIGH CPU spikes, in US time, also without any traffic CPU u...

Set up leprechaun code generation with Sitecore XM Cloud Starterkit

Hi Sitecorians, It has been amazing learning year so far and with the change in technology and shift of the focus on frontend frameworks and composable products, it has been market demand to keep learning and exploring new things. Reasons behind this blog Today's topic is something that was in my draft from April-May, and I always thought that there is already a good documentation out there for  Leprechaun  and a blog post is not needed, Until I realized that there was so many of us facing same kind of issues and same kind of problems and spending same amount of time, That is where I thought, if I could write something which can reduce that repetitive troubleshooting time, That would really help the community. 1)  In a project environment, if we get into some configuration issues, we resolve them, we make sure we are not blocked and continue, but if you think same issue, same step and same scenario will come to other people, so if we can draft it online, it will help othe...

An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response to This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol. This could also be due to an HTTP request context being aborted by the server (possibly due to the service shutting down). See server logs for more details.

You have noticed many times that everything was working fine and suddenly the below error starts coming and you find no way to work it out An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response to This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol. This could also be due to an HTTP request context being aborted by the server (possibly due to the service shutting down). See server logs for more details. The reason for this is the receiving size of WCF service is smaller then the data which is coming from service It was working before because it was small,So you will have to try to increase the receiving setting in your end point,Possible settings can be following maxStringContentLength="2147483647" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" maxBufferSize="2147483647" maxArrayLength="2147483647" That would definately help you!!!
