Enable HTTP Compression

[MobileNow]

Does anyone have any information on how to enable IIS HTTP Compression on a server running plesk? I have enabled compression on the server, but it seems like only the "default" plesk web page is actually compressing the content.

Anyone have any ideas?

Does any one have any ideas on this? This seems to be a critical missing feature of Plesk.

Hello,

You have to do it directly from IIS.

It has to be done from the website properties.

Do you have instructions on how to do that? I enabled it in IIS and I set the properties in the metabase, however, the only site that seems to use compression is the Plesk Default Page site.

Any suggestions?

Any suggestions?

If you don't have IIS set to enable direct metabase edits, this could be the issue you're seeing. Restarting IIS manually might fix that.

You can enable it globally, steps here:

I've tried that. It doesn't work. It seems as if the Plesk websites don't care about teh settings except for the plesk default site.

Does anyone have a tutorial on this?
