Enable HTTP Compression in IIS Express

Open a Command Prompt as Administrator.  Go to the IIS Express installation folder

  • 32 bit : cd %programfiles%\iis express 
  • 64 bit: cd %programfiles(x86)%\iis express
Run the following command to enable dynamic compression:
appcmd set config -section:urlCompression /doDynamicCompression:true
You should see the following message:
 Applied configuration changes to section "system.webServer/urlCompression" for "MACHINE/WEBROOT/APPHOST" at configuration commit path "MACHINE/WEBROOT/APPHOST"
 Now add the mime-types to compress.  I'm using wildcard entries.  Static types first:
appcmd set config /section:httpCompression /staticTypes.[mimeType='*/*'].enabled:"true" /commit:apphost
You should see the following message:
Applied configuration changes to section "system.webServer/httpCompression" for "MACHINE/WEBROOT/APPHOST" at configuration commit path "MACHINE/WEBROOT/APPHOST"
Now for the dynamic types:
 appcmd set config /section:httpCompression /dynamicTypes.[mimeType='*/*'].enabled:"true" /commit:apphost
And the final message you should see:
 Applied configuration changes to section "system.webServer/httpCompression" for "MACHINE/WEBROOT/APPHOST" at configuration commit path "MACHINE/WEBROOT/APPHOST"
