Classic ASP Image Caching

    So I'm trying to improve the Google pagespeed rating for a website running classic ASP. One of the high priority items was to leverage browser caching for images. I've done a bit of searching trying to find out how to set something like that up, but I have no clue. I haven't done ASP programming in about 10 years and I was never particularly strong with anything advanced.

    If someone can show me what code I have to enter and where I would be very appreciative. Or maybe there is some kind of tutorial out there that can show me what to do. I wouldn't think it would be very complicated, but finding the solution seems to be.

    Please and thank you!!

    When it comes to caching, you can't really achieve much with your code (except if the Images are stored in a Database).Caching can be achieved using IIS on your hosting platform if you are able to access it directly.

    oh ok, thanks man. That's why I couldn't find simple code to achieve this.

    Is gzip compression the same deal?

    I'm not sure about gzip compression but i do know that there is a compression available in IIS - not sure how to use it though.
