WHY SHOULD REPEAT WEB VISITORS REQUEST THE SAME CONTENT OVER AND OVER when it can be cached and accessed faster from a local browser or proxy cache? CacheRight for Microsoft IIS 4/5/6 allows Web developers to easily craft and administer effective cache control policies for every Web site resource through a single rules file, freeing administrators from establishing rules in a one-off fashion and without requiring MMC access for developers. CACHERIGHT WILL DRAMATICALLY SPEED UP PAGE LOADS FOR REPEAT VISITORS, reduce overall network chatter, and eliminate server strain caused by unnecessary validation requests. A faster site means happier customers and more productive corporate users. CACHE CONTROL FOR MANY DEVELOPERS IS LIMITED TO USING THE META TAG. Unfortunately, this technique is time consuming, fails to leverage proxy caches, works poorly for HTML files, and does nothing at all for the most cache-worthy items in a site: images, PDFs, and other large binary files. WITH CACHERIGHT, A SIMPLE CONFIGURATION RULES FILE in the Web site's home directory enables developers to set up rules that control expiration by location, file, or mime type. Unchanging images, PDFs, Flash, multimedia files, and other page elements are delivered crisply from the repeat user's browser cache. Meanwhile, dynamic content is served guaranteed fresh, without competing with validation requests and static content for precious server cycles and bandwidth. CACHERIGHT IS FULLY COMPATIBLE WITH IIS 4/5/6 and Windows NT/2000/Server 2003 and is easy to implement as a low-impact ISAPI filter with intuitive, easy-to-master rule statements. As with all Port80 Software IIS Web server tools, CacheRight is available for a fully functional free 30-day trial and includes free support.
