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

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...

If you think you also have faced the same issue and you tired of reading MSDN KBs for it and still have not found the issue (If KB has solved the issue, well and good, if not you can try this trick),Please Read below Typical scenario In typical hosting with IIS, i did every possible things like enabling windows authentication, changing it in web.config, configuring connection pool, authorization rules, it asks me for window authentication login and despite of entering correct credentials it always fails and keeps on asking for login, and when pressed cancel it gives 401.1 with 0xc000006d error code Solution (Which worked for me at-least after trying for almost 6-9 hrs) You need to change the Loop Back Check in registry so that it allows the host names which you are giving in url are allowed and au...

POV - How does the SCRUNCH acquisition matters the most at this point from Sitecore?

Hello Everyone, By now, everyone in the Sitecore ecosystem has heard it, Sitecore acquired Scrunch . LinkedIn is full of takes on what it means for the product roadmap, the partner network, the AEO/GEO category. Before I add to that pile, I want to talk about something which raised my eyebrows, and i want yours to raise too Do you know? Search engines never had a traffic drop in last 20 years, but now first time in history, Search engines are seeing traffic drop. We are witnessing the shift in a technology and use of it and we are at the very intersection of that change where your site audiences are changing, first time in a history people are not going to search engines, They are going to LLMs for their discovery / research / or day to day tasks. Back in February 2024, Gartner published a prediction that quietly rattled the marketing world: by 2026, traditional search engine volume would drop 25%, with search marketing losing ground to AI chatbots and virtual agents, Generative AI was...
