Monitoring and Tuning Your Server

Using HTTP Keep-Alives

To ensure optimal bandwidth, you can also verify that HTTP Keep-Alives are enabled. HTTP Keep-Alives maintain a connection even after the initial request is complete. HTTP Keep-Alives are enabled by default, but can be disabled. To disable them, right-click a site in the Internet Services Manager, then click Properties; select the Performance tab and clear the HTTP Keep-Alives Enabled check box.
