first load of aspx page is really slow

[z. f.]

Hi,

i have a dot-net app.
the first load is really slow, about 4 seconds at least.
next requests are very fast.

is there a way to analyze the buttleneck in the load process of a asp-net application / aspx page.

the global.asax has no code in it.
the dll is using 2 "home-made" dot-net DLLs.
i compiled the DLLs in release mode.
the aspx is using few user contorl ascx pages that are also compiled at first run,
but should this slow a page so much?

please advise.

TIA, z.

This is because the ASP page is complied when it is requested for the first
time. Subsequent requests use the complied page.

application / aspx >page.

You can use load testing tools, such as Application Test Center which is
included with the Enterprise Architect edition of Visual Studio.NET, to do
this.
