What is HTML Compression

You should reflect HTML compression if you have users who are linked to Sterling Order Management System Software over high dormancy or low bandwidth net links.

HTML density can reduce the size of the HTML pages by up to 85%.

Currently, the Sterling Order Organization System Software Console UIs have been tested with F5 Big-IP v9 as an HTML density engine.

If you were to use a Big-IP, you should be aware of the next Big-IP specific configuration supplies in the HTTP Profile configuration tab:

You need to set the response unitization limit to rechunk. The default is preserved. The reason is that Genuine Order Management System Software does not set the gratified length in the HTTP headers when distribution out the response. With the evasion setting of preserve, the Big-IP does not effort to bandage HTML pages that do not have gratified lengths set. With the rechunk setting, Big-IP bandages the response hunks as they are conventional. More conspicuously, the Big-IP can onward along the beaten chunks without waiting for the whole HTML page to be beaten.

Big-IP allows you to specify the quantity of density dispensation that it attempts. The setting can range from Level 1 which tries a insignificant compression in favor of indulgence speed to Level 9 which tries to find the most thickness. We found that Level 1 density was able to get up to 85% density and that the benefits from Level 9 undetectable. As a result, we avoided to testing with Level 1 compression.

We set the density buffer size to 128KB instead of the evasion of 4KB. The overall thought is that the buffer size should be able to store the entire beaten response in order to set the gratified header length. In our testing, we didn’t see any considerable differences amid 4KB and 128KB. This may be due to the fact that we had previously set response unitization to rechunk – as a result, the Big-IP does not have to set the gratified length on the beaten response. However, we were counseled to set the buffer size to at least 128KB.

We know that there are other HTML density technologies available including Apache deflate component and Juniper DX application hastening devices. Please keep in attention that we have, to date, only tested against the F5 Big-IP v9.

Please also keep in mind that the solidity is only expert for the Application Console. The Requests Manager and the System Management Console do not support density. The VT220 terminal screens are small and should not require solidity.
