The Microsoft Internet Information Server holds the site web pages. A customer requests either static or dynamic page (HTML, ASP, XML, style sheet etc). The server first determines if the customer has a compatible browser. If the browser is compatible, it then pushes down a compressed version of the page to the client. The customers browser then decompresses the file and displays it. Only the compressed version of the page is sent. The compression process requires a slight increase in CPU utilization for compression/decompression both on the server and client side. Up to 1/10 of the original file size with virtually no additional processor load. Content is compressed prior to SSL encryption and sites employing SSL also reap significant performance increases.
