How can you reduce page size in that way? Better is to use gzip compression. If you want to display html pages as aspx pages in browser, use url rewriting.

I never tried it with HTMLs but Check by following the process below : Go to IIS console, Right click on Website, - > Go to properties. Move to Tab Page : Home Directory Click on Configuration. In the Mappings Tab click on "Add". In Executable Choose "aspnet_isapi.dll". (You will find this in DefaultDrive:\windows\Microsoft\Framework\2.0) In the Extension type "html" Now click OK. In your webconfig of your website, create an entry for HTTPHandler which handles HTML extension. You can use this article to remove extra whitespaces and apply GZip Compression to your html. http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/38067/Compress-Response-and-HTML-WhiteSpace-Remover.aspx[^] Just write the response back to the stream. If HTML extension doesnt work for you, try using any other extensions for your html files, preferably axd. :) Hope this solution help you. :rose:
