| Optimize Web server performance |
| Optimizing Web applications depends on your existing environment and how people use your Web |
| site; however, there are things you can do to optimize a Web server's performance. |
| Disable unused services. By doing this, you free memory and shut down unused services that could |
| be exploited. The exact services to disable depend on your server and the applications you run on it. |
| On a dedicated Web server, you could probably disable Alerter, ClipBook, Computer Browser, Fax |
| Service, Infrared Monitor, ICS, Messenger, Network DDE, Network DDE DSDM, Print Spooler, |
| Maximize network applications' data throughput. In the Network And Dial-up Connections folder, |
| right-click the network connection and click Properties. Select File And Printer Sharing For |
| Microsoft Networks and click Properties. Enable the Maximum Data Throughput For Network |
| Applications, and click OK to save and close the dialog box. |
| Optimize system performance for background services. Right-click the My Computer icon and click |
| Properties. On the Advanced tab, click Performance Options, select Background Services, and click |
| OK to save and close the dialog box. |
| Minimize Web server logging. In the Internet Services Manager console, right-click a Web site and |
| click Properties. The logging settings are on the Web Site tab. |
| Disable logging for individual virtual directories. Right-click the directory, select Properties, and |
| deselect the Log Visits check box. |
| Limit the number of Web site connections to serve simultaneously. This can help you provide |
| better service to the user. In the Internet Services Manager, right-click the Web site and select |
| Properties. In the Connections Settings, click Limited To and type a number of connections. Note: |
| Each client uses around four connections when connected to a Web site. |
