Web Forms :: Slow Web Application Startup
Mar 24, 2011
I know that when a .NET web application first starts, it will be slow on first access. For that reason, I created a 'keep alive' page in the application that is requested every 8 minutes or so by a scheduled process. I hoped that that would be sufficient to prevent the application from 'unloading' and thus suffer from this initial long startup time again and again.
I can see in my logs that the 'keep alive' page is indeed triggered every 8 minutes, 24 hours a day. But when I actively start working in the application after some time, eg. the following day, I still have to wait a while for it to start up. Once the first page is loaded, all is fine again.

we have this problem but can't find a solution. We have an application that references something like 24 dlls. When you invoke the application the very first time (after the application is for any reason reset) it takes 25-40 seconds to start loading contents.
This is what we tried:
1. precompile and publish everything in release mode
2. removing pdbs from bin folder
3. put strong named assemblies into GAC
4. set application to debug = false
consider that the whole bin folder is composed by 24 dlls for a total size of 28MB. Just 4 of these dlls are strong named and they are more and less 25MB. Nothing seems changed. What happens EXACTLY when the application is started is something I couldn't find in any book nor forum/blog/post... What can we monitor more to find where the problem is?

My application is running in a shared hosting environment. I do have a dedicated App Pool for my app. I've been doing some testing with 1st visits and precompile performance and have been tracking when my application starts up and shuts down.
In my Global.asax I have some logging code in Application_Start and Application_End. I can see from my logs generally when the application is idle and shuts down, then someone visits and it starts back up.
But, I also see cases where a shutdown is logged and then followed by another shutdown about 13 minutes later; without a startup in the middle.
I also see instances where there are two Startups in a row. I'm guessing these might be a recycle, but why wouldn't there be a shutdown log entry?
What I'd really like to know if there is a better way to track when my application starts, when it shuts down and if it is shutdown due to an idle pool, or from a recycle. I don't have access to the Windows Event Log so I need to do this from my app if possible.

I have two applications(A,B) both are developed in .NET3.5 and used LDAP services.Application-A in one screen we are fetching users with role "project Leads" and it is taking 10 min time
Application-B in login screen we are checking user is authenticated or not and it is taking 20 sec
Both the applications are using the same service then way there is a time span problem. Please suggest me what can I do to improve performance of application A?

Let's say you set maxRequestLength to the max number (2097151) (units are KB) and use the following code for your OnClick event for your submit button:
int int fileSize = FileUpload1.PostedFile.ContentLength;
if (fileSize < 2000000)//units are bytes
Label1.Text="too big";
else
{
FileUpload1.SaveAs(saveItHerePath);
Label1.Text = "Upload success.";
}
Why when a huge file is attempted does it take a minute to get to the OnClick event on the server? Because if maxRequestLength were set to that value 2000, it would immediately choke if you tried to upload a 500MB file. What is going on here? What are the best practices for using the FileUpload control? Is there a better alternative way of uploading or checking for file size?

I have a strange situation on a production server. Connection for asp.net get queued but the CPU is only at 40%. Also the database runs fine at 30% CPU.
Some more history as requested in the comments:
In the peak hours the sites gets around 20,000 visitors an hour.
The site is an asp.net webforms application with a lot of AJAX/POSTs
The site uses a lot of User generated content
We measure the performance of the site with a testpage which does hit the database and the webservices used by the site. This page get served within a second on normal load. Whe define the application as slow when the request takes more than 4 seconds.
From the measurements we can see that the connectiontime is fast, but the processing time is large.
We can't pinpoint the slowresponse the a single request, the site runs fine during normal hours but gets slow during peak hours
We had a problem that the site was CPU bound (aka running at 100%), we fixed that
We also had problems with exceptions maken the appdomain restart, we fixed that do
During peak hours I take a look at the asp.net performance counters. We can see behaviour that we have 600 current connections with 500 queued connections.
At peak times the CPU is around 40% (which makes me the think that it is not CPU bound)
Physical memory is around 60% used
At peak times the DatabaseServer CPU is around 30% (which makes me think it is not Database bound)
My conclusion is that something else is stopping the server from handling the requests faster. Possible suspects:
Deadlocks (!syncblk only gives one lock)
Disk I/O (checked via sysinternals procesexplorer: 3.5 mB/s)
Garbage collection (10~15% during peaks)
Network I/O (connect time still low)
To find out what the proces is doing I created to minidumps.
I managed to create two MemoryDumps 20 seconds apart. This is the output of the first:
!threadpool
CPU utilization 6%
Worker Thread: Total: 95 Running: 72 Idle: 23 MaxLimit: 200 MinLimit: 100
Work Request in Queue: 1
Number of Timers: 64
and the output of the second:
!threadpool
CPU utilization 9%
Worker Thread: Total: 111 Running: 111 Idle: 0 MaxLimit: 200 MinLimit: 100
Work Request in Queue: 1589

I am developing sample web application which use C#, and LINQ to SQL. The application is very very slow and it takes about 2 secs to navigate between pages. I have already used SQL Profiler and monitor the calls to the SQL server. All SQLs looks normal to me and their execution time is always about 1 or 2 millisecs.I tried the same application in another PC and it is the same. So, it is not because of my computer performance.

My application runs quickly when debugging locally, but slows down to an almost unusable state once published. Oddly, the published version seems to be grabbing data very quickly from MSSQL - it's the part where I'm updating datatables and gridviews that is very slow. For example:

There's a web app I've been assigned to, which is running very slow. It is a site that sells products so it is database driven, however even pages that do not query the database are loading very slow. The pages use master pages, and the code is in VB.NETI checked with fiddler and the time it takes to load basic (non database driven) pages are about 5.5 seconds on average.
What are some tools that can help me determine the cause of the slow speeds, and any recommendations as to how to speed it up, or potential issues that could cause it?UpdateSo I messed around with the code piece by piece as I wasn't getting anywhere with these tools. As soon as I remove master pages, and I include the same code that's on the master pages in the .aspx page itself, the speed improves drastically (approximately 5 times faster load times).What might cause the master pages to cause load times to slow down so much?

I have one ASP.NET Application (VS.NET 2005). In that i have one scenario where i have to display 500 records per page (Not less than that bcoz this is client requirement to display 500 records per page) in the Gridview. This functionality is working fine but the application is becoming very slow.Can anybody tell me the solution for increasing performance in this case ?

I have a simple web application that loads very slow the very first time after i deploy it. I am using ASP.NET 3.5 SP1 / VS 2008 / Linq / Web forms to load the default.aspx home page. It is a very light page with nothing too fancy.Now to debug this load issue, I logged all the events in the global file and got the following log text:
2010-04-10 11:58:38,083 - Application_Start
2010-04-10 11:58:38,111 - Application_BeginRequest
2010-04-10 11:58:38,117 - Application_AuthenticateRequest
2010-04-10 11:58:52,321 - Session_Start
2010-04-10 11:58:52,454 - Page_Load
2010-04-10 11:58:53,951 - End Page_load
2010-04-10 11:58:53,981 - Application_EndRequest
Now my question is, between the Application_AuthenticateRequest and Session_Start functions, there is generally around 10 - 15 seconds - which i believe seems to be the problem.The thing, I am unsure why this is slow between these two functions.I am not using any forms authentication.Also, I am not doing anything fancy in the global file besides setting a session variable.

I have developed a web application in asp.net with c# with out using master page. I have developed this application in iframe.
The problem is that my application run smoothly but suddenly it stops and do some processing and it run again smoothly.
it stops any where on page load, on button click, on checkbox changed. i can not tell where it stops
it stops only when page post. i can see the processbar on browser's statusbar it stop for long time 40 to 60 seconds and after that i fire same event now process complets within 2 to 5 seconds

I have developed an application that interacts with IBM ClearQuest. The problem is that when I run everything locally, such as, run the webservice local and then ASP page local everything is at the speed I expect. When I post the webservice (precompiled) to the server and run the web page through the server, the call to the webmethod takes at least 10x the amount of time it should. I dont know why this is happening. I made a console application that has the function in question and execute it on the server and locally and they both return the same amounts of time (roughly) its just when I move to executing via the webmethod everything grinds to a snails pace. Any ideas? This happens every time not just on the first call.
WebMethod:

I'm trying to implement AJAX within an existing application and it seems to be running slow.
I have 3 datallist that all have checkboxs. I have buttons that all users to check all checkbox for a specific datalist. I have an update panel around each datalist. When I check and uncheck it seems to be really slow. I also have 3 textboxes and 4
buttons within my update panel.
When I user uses this site it hides and shows different panels and that seems to be really slow when the users press a button. There is no database stuff happening when the slowness occurs.

I've noticed as my website gets bigger and bigger, the time my laptop takes to display my page is much longer then say a new projects with minimal references. I think there are two variables at play that affect ASP.NET warm-up time:
The quantity of external references The time it takes for a worker process to new() up each instance per worker process Additional time for the WCF objects as the ServiceHost may be in an external DLL First, are those the correct variables to take into account when considering ASP.NET startup time? Next, it appears that web.config may dispatch other objects for use with certain filetypes (*.svc, *.aspx, Windows Identity Foundation (WIF), etc. ). This too may cause delays in ASP.NET.
Last, my project is created as a "web project" not a "web site". Not sure if this has an impact. Is my theory full of holes, or is there something I can do to make development on a old laptop any better?

When I start debugging my application using vs2010 before the default.aspx page is rendered the application_error event is fired in global.asax.
There is nothing happening in the page_load of the default.aspx screen.However, if I set a break point on the default.aspx page_load event and the application_error event here are the sequence of events: The page_load event of default.aspx is fired, there is no code to execute there so I hit F5 to continue. The application_error event is then fired.Here are some of the details from Server.GetLastError();
exception message is "File does not exist."
stack trace:
at System.Web.StaticFileHandler.GetFileInfo(String virtualPathWithPathInfo, String physicalPath, HttpResponse response)
at System.Web.StaticFileHandler.ProcessRequestInternal(HttpContext context, String overrideVirtualPath)
[code]...
I have absolutely no idea why this event is fired. Do all of the events in the Global.asax get fired on startup?There is nothing happening on the page_load so how can an error be thrown?

I used Castle Windsor before and had this routine that fired the certain method of all classes that implement a certain interface.If I recall correctly, the interface was IBootStrapTask and only had an excecute method. Then, for instance, I'd place all my route registrations in one of these, and know it get fired on application startup.Have to admit I did not understand the code to well, so I'm even more unsure how can I do this. I'm using structure map now. (still knowing very little about it)

I am in a partnership with someone. We are currently planning a system that can either use ASP.NET MVC or PHP With //Insert your framework here//. At this stage I can't say to much. Now the thing is I have a bit of experience with C# and MVC. I understand the concepts and actually wrote a fully functional blog with it. Now the other side of me wants to take PHP for a test drive. Will I waste my time? How good will ASP.NET MVC scale against PHP? I have to say that I love visual studio and the integration of MVC tools like quickly adding a view and a controller... Everything fits nicely. But the learning curve was quite steep and still is. I haven't really touched AJAX and Jquery yet but how easy is it to use it with ASP.NET MVC? I already googled and researched this but I want opinions of those who have been working with these technologies.
