I looked into the generated HTML. It was 85KB HTML. I saw a lot of that size is caused by the excessive data in your moderator column. I'd turn that column off for the sake of default.asp... Also the banners you show change on every hit, which is another 30 KB.
30 KB/page * 300.000 pages/mo = 9 GB/mo could be saved by removing the banner. I don't think you earn that much amount from the clicks...
I could not check other pages because it required me to join. But you may consider to turn some of the features off. Each feature does create some more HTML code...

Caching settings on the server itself may help you as well. As I run my own servers, I 've just gotten into using cache-control settings for my various websites.
Straight out-of-the-box, IIS doesn't send cache-control or Expires headers back to the browser or to a proxy, so everytime a user visits your site they must download every image again. While you may not want to allow some dynamic pages to be cached, in the IIS Snap-In you can choose to apply cache settings to your images or css or javascript directories. Even setting an expiration value of one day can dramatically reduce the amount of bandwidth that your site ends up using. Ask your host if they implement caching at all.

The caching will help but your host must take it into consideration in calculations.
mas, I looked at other pages and saw nothing special.
Also, I can be mistaken with the banner stuff I told. If they come from another site, it will not be counted into your bandwidth, but their provider. I went to re-check but you removed them...

Does it mean everything is NOT cached at all if I don't have that option enabled?
What will happen to asp pages if I enable it? I did a test and it seems asp output itself is not cached.
besides, we can also set catch control in asp files, do I have to enable cache first for the cache control in asp pages to work? (I don't think so)
I didn't see options to set what type of files, directories should be cached. in my win2k there's no such option there in application configuration?
thanks.

In your IIS management console, right-click the directory or file that you want to apply your caching settings to and choose Properties. In the HTTP Headers tab, you can choose to "Enable Content Expiration". You should also add a CacheControl custom HTTP header as well, and set the max-age value. Cache settings work like windows permissions, as they are inheritable. So anything in a directory will inherit the cache settings of the directory.
You are right, you can add those headers in an ASP script, but maybe you don't want to cache the ASP pages themselves. In that case, you might just want to cache the images or other static files, and so you would do that through the MMC.
If you don't have any cache settings set (either in the MMC or in your scripts), then it's up to the browser/proxy to decide whether or not to cache things. By explicitly setting the options though, more browsers and proxies will accept them and cache your files. |
