Gzip is the most popular and effective compression method currently available and generally reduces the response size by about 70%. Approximately 90% of today's Internet traffic travels through browsers that claim to support gzip.</p> <p>There was a similar post <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6992524/how-do-i-enable-gzip-compression-when-using-mvc3-on-iis7">here</a>, But even though I've followed these steps it doesn't compress the traffic.</p> <p>Steps I've done:</p> <ol> <li>I ticked all the compression settings in the IIS -> Compression.</li> <li>Activate the Windows Feature "Dynamic Content Compression".</li> <li>I've added this lines to the <code>web.config</code>:</li> </ol> <p><code></p> <pre><code>&lt;system.webServer&gt; ... &lt;httpCompression directory="%SystemDrive%\inetpub\temp\IIS Temporary Compressed Files"&gt; &lt;scheme name="gzip" dll="%Windir%\system32\inetsrv\gzip.dll"/&gt; &lt;dynamicTypes&gt; &lt;add mimeType="text/*" enabled="true"/&gt; &lt;add mimeType="message/*" enabled="true"/&gt; &lt;add mimeType="application/javascript" enabled="true"/&gt; &lt;add mimeType="*/*" enabled="true"/&gt; &lt;/dynamicTypes&gt; &lt;staticTypes&gt; &lt;add mimeType="text/*" enabled="true"/&gt; &lt;add mimeType="message/*" enabled="true"/&gt; &lt;add mimeType="application/javascript" enabled="true"/&gt; &lt;add mimeType="*/*" enabled="true"/&gt; &lt;/staticTypes&gt; &lt;/httpCompression&gt; &lt;urlCompression doStaticCompression="true" doDynamicCompression="true" /&gt; ... &lt;/system.webServer&gt; </code></pre> <p></code></p> <p>I am currently using the Developer Server inside the project Properties -> Web -> Servers</p>
