a. Static Compression should be enable in windows IIS
(step of this in above topic “HTTP Compression”)
Web Config setting for this
<staticContent>
<clientCache cacheControlCustom="public" cacheControlMode="UseMaxAge" cacheControlMaxAge="365.00:00:00"/>
</staticContent>
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
b. Enable Dynamic Compression in windows IIS
(step of this in above topic “HTTP Compression”)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Below the screenshot of IIS Setting
 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -


After check on both (static and dynamic) checkbox, click on Apply

3. Minify CSS and Javascript
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
  1. Use bundling in MVC :
    try to make one bundle for page to avoid multiple requests
  2. Remove unused css for particular page (means only required css rule should be on page)

4. Minify HTML (GZip compression)
Set response header with GZip
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
--Add attribute on controller like
    [CompressContent]
public class HomeController : Controller
--Attribute code
public class CompressContentAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute
{
       public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
       {
               GZipEncodePage();
       }

       public static bool IsGZipSupported()
       {
               string AcceptEncoding = HttpContext.Current.Request.Headers["Accept-Encoding"];
               if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(AcceptEncoding) &&
                       (AcceptEncoding.Contains("gzip") || AcceptEncoding.Contains("deflate")))
                   return true;
               return false;
       }

       public static void GZipEncodePage()
       {
               HttpResponse Response = HttpContext.Current.Response;

               if (IsGZipSupported())
               {
                       string AcceptEncoding = HttpContext.Current.Request.Headers["Accept-Encoding"];
                       if (AcceptEncoding.Contains("gzip"))
                       {
                           Response.Filter = new System.IO.Compression.GZipStream(Response.Filter,
                                               System.IO.Compression.CompressionMode.Compress);
                           Response.AppendHeader("Content-Encoding", "gzip");
                       }
                       else
                       {
                           Response.Filter = new System.IO.Compression.DeflateStream(Response.Filter,
                                               System.IO.Compression.CompressionMode.Compress);
                         Response.AppendHeader("Content-Encoding", "deflate");
                       }
               }
      }
}

5. Optimize Images
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
  1. Try to compress images
  2. Add multiple images into single image to avoid multiple request for each image

For parallel rendering add css before javascript
like
<link style….
Then
<script….
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Enable compression (gzip)

MVC4 bundling GZIP and headers
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
To properly get the JavaScript files on IIS compressed and served with GZip encoding put the following in your web.config.
<staticContent>
     <remove fileExtension=".js" />
     <mimeMap fileExtension=".js" mimeType="text/javascript" />
     <clientCache cacheControlMode="UseMaxAge" cacheControlMaxAge="365.00:00:00" />
</staticContent>

   <urlCompression doDynamicCompression="true" dynamicCompressionBeforeCache="true" />
   <httpCompression noCompressionForHttp10="false" noCompressionForProxies="false" dynamicCompressionDisableCpuUsage="93" dynamicCompressionEnableCpuUsage="93" staticCompressionDisableCpuUsage="99" staticCompressionEnableCpuUsage="99">
     <scheme name="gzip" dll="%Windir%\system32\inetsrv\gzip.dll" staticCompressionLevel="9" dynamicCompressionLevel="4" />

   </httpCompression>
</system.webServer>
And then on your ISS in MIME Types
enter image description here
change the application/x-javascript to text/javascript
enter image description here
You will now see in DevTools that JS files are being served with gzip in Content Encoding column.
enter image description here

Tip/Trick: Fix Common SEO Problems Using the URL Rewrite Extension

Search engine optimization (SEO) is important for any publically facing web-site.  A large % of traffic to sites now comes directly from search engines, and improving your site’s search relevancy will lead to more users visiting your site from search engine queries.  This can directly or indirectly increase the money you make through your site. This blog post covers how you can use the free Microsoft  URL Rewrite Extension  to fix a bunch of common SEO problems that your site might have.  It takes less than 15 minutes (and no code changes) to apply 4 simple  URL Rewrite  rules to your site, and in doing so cause search engines to drive more visitors and traffic to your site.  The techniques below work equally well with both ASP.NET Web Forms and ASP.NET MVC based sites.  They also works with all versions of ASP.NET (and even work with non-ASP.NET content). [In addition to blogging, I am also now using Twitter for quick updates and to sh...

ASP.NET MVC - Set custom IIdentity or IPrincipal

Here's how I do it. I decided to use IPrincipal instead of IIdentity because it means I don't have to implement both IIdentity and IPrincipal. Create the interface interface ICustomPrincipal : IPrincipal { int UserId { get ; set ; } string FirstName { get ; set ; } string LastName { get ; set ; } } CustomPrincipal public class CustomPrincipal : ICustomPrincipal { public IIdentity Identity { get ; private set ; } public bool IsInRole ( string role ) { return false ; } public CustomPrincipal ( string email ) { this . Identity = new GenericIdentity ( email ); } public int UserId { get ; set ; } public string FirstName { get ; set ; } public string LastName { get ; set ; } } CustomPrincipalSerializeModel - for serializing custom information into userdata field in FormsAuthenticationTicket object. public class CustomPrincipalSerializeMode...
