Is compression/gzip possible with Windows Plesk/IIS?

[dpleskuser]

I'm running Plesk v12.0.18 on Microsoft Windows 6.1 with Microsoft IIS 7.5 web server and am going around in circles trying to find out how to enable gzip/deflate or some kind of compression.

Looking at the Plesk UI, there's a very short list of options available in the Web Server settings (Default documents, MIME types etc) so I'm assuming if there is a way to achieve this, I need to manually edit some file in some way!!

Hugely appreciate any tips on the appropriate next steps to enable compression on my web server - even if it's just to point me in the direction of documentation that I've so far been unable to find with Google. Thanks!

It can be enable on IIS side. You can try this method, for example - https://talk.plesk.com/threads/enable-gzip-compression-on-iis-7-5.257706/
