Overview

IISxpress is a powerful and highly configurable compression plug-in for IIS. IISxpress enhances the latest Microsoft web technologies like ASP.NET and Ajax (not forgetting ASP, ISAPI Coldfusion and CGI) by reducing page footprint allowing you to concentrate on deploying rich content without worrying about end user download performance and bandwidth costs. With IISxpress you can significantly reduce the download footprint of HTML, JS, CSS, XML, SOAP, XMLRPC and most binary content types. IISxpress is FREE to use on Windows Vista, and XP Professional. On Windows 2003 and 2008 IISxpress is FREE for non-profit organizations, for commercial and government use IISxpress is $79 per installed server. Free versions of IISxpress do not contain spyware or adware and are functionally identical to the full commercial version. You just get 100% compression and nothing else.
