Remarks

When the DynamicCompressionBeforeCache property is true, IIS dynamically compresses the response the first time a request is made. The compressed response is put into the output cache, and the cached response is sent to the client. Subsequent requests are served from the compressed response in the output cache.

When DynamicCompressionBeforeCache is false, IIS puts the noncompressed response into the output cache. Then, every time that the response is requested, IIS dynamically compresses the cached response as it is sent to the client.

If you set the DynamicCompressionBeforeCache property to true, the CPU will dynamically compress the response only once instead of every time the page is requested. Because dynamic compression is CPU-intensive, a setting of true can reduce the server load and improve site throughput.

Example

The following example lists the dynamic and static compression settings for all paths and locations on a Web server. An empty Location property in the output indicates that the setting is global.

' Connect to the WMI WebAdministration namespace.  
Set oWebAdmin = GetObject("winmgmts:root\WebAdministration")  
  
' Get the URL compression section.  
Set oUrlCompressionSection = oWebAdmin.ExecQuery( _  
    "SELECT * FROM UrlCompressionSection")  
  
' List the dynamic and static compression settings for each location.  
For Each vUrlCompressionProperty In oUrlCompressionSection  
    WScript.Echo "Location: " & vUrlCompressionProperty.Location  
    WScript.Echo "DoDynamicCompression: " & _  
        vUrlCompressionProperty.DoDynamicCompression  
    WScript.Echo "DoStaticCompression: " & _  
        vUrlCompressionProperty.DoStaticCompression  
    WScript.Echo
