One of my favorites features in the IIS Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Toolkit is what we called Report Comparison.

Application Request Routing (ARR) Version 2 includes support for disk caching capabilities which effectively allows ARR to be used as a cache proxy. ARRv2 also includes management of cache hierarchy so that it can be used to build a network of cache servers, as in Content Delivery Network (CDN) or Edge Caching Network (ECN). More information on ARRv2 can be found here and they can downloaded at: Microsoft Application Request Routing Version 2 for IIS 7.0 (x86) here . Microsoft Application Request Routing Version 2 for IIS 7.0 (x64) here .

In order for this feature to work, the ARR administrator must provide a list of URLs for ARR to pre-cache. ARR...

He downloaded the HTML pages and tried looking for anything suspicious on them, however he was not able to find anything. My friend then went back to his Hosting provider and mentioned...( read more ) Read More...
The other day somebody ask me if there was a way to limit the amount of work that Site Analysis in IIS SEO Toolkit would cause to the server. This is interesting for a couple of reasons, You might want to reduce the load that Site Analysis cause to your server at any given time You might have a Denial-of-service detection system such as our Dynamic IP Restrictions IIS module that will start failing requests based on number of requests in a certain amount of time Or If you like me have to go through...( read more ) Read More...
