Cancel IIS access records to optimize IIS

Many enterprises have chosen sites based on IIS 6.0. However, compared with other Web platforms, IIS not only has high hardware requirements, but also has poor performance. Without a strong hardware platform, it would be easy to slow down. Here we will learn how to optimize our IIS by canceling IIS access records.

Cancel IIS access records

IIS6.0 enables IIS access records for web by default. When the record function is enabled, IIS faithfully records all IIS access records. The contents of these record files are very complex, such as the access time, Client IP address, access from which link, Cookies, and so on. It also includes Method and UserAgent.

These records not only occupy a large amount of disk space, but also greatly affect the performance of web servers. Some people have done some tests. Stopping IIS access records can improve the web performance by 5% to 8%. In addition, these records are useless for general users, especially small and medium-sized websites, which is too costly for system performance. Therefore, we recommend that you disable them.

To cancel an IIS access record, open the IIS manager, locate a specific web site, right-click and choose Properties ", on the "home directory" tab, deselect the "record access" check box.
