Re: Website Running Slow Please Help.

Best place to start would be event logs. Scan through them and see if you are
noticing any errors. Make sure that you open your event logs and
simultaneously browse through the website.

Being a programmer, I would also like to see how many times the worker
process which w3wp.exe is being recycled. Search MSDN to see how to log the
worker processes recycle events in the logs. If you notice that there are too
many recycles then it is definitely the application code that is causing the
problem. You can ask your programmers and let them know that there is a
memory leak somewhere or they might be allocating too many objects and
garbage collector might be running too often which is very expensive and can
slow your website.

You can use MMC to examine the "ASP.NET Memory" performance.

Please let me know how the things progress. I would appreciate your feedback.

How much RAM does the machine have?

Hey Sam,

Thanks for the help. I will look into all the resources you gave me.
Is it any guarantee that it is a programming problem that is slowing
it down? Is there any possibility that it may be a hosting problem?
I've tried to go through them and have gotten nothing, but the
programmers we outsource to sort of point the blame elsewhere.

Thanks again for the help.

This is something your outsourced programmers should be able to take
care of. If they can't make it faster or prove that it is running
within acceptable parameters (which depends on whatever contract you
have with them), then you might want to look into finding a different
company to outsource to.

That said, there are lots of places to look. Start with the database
and SQL Profiler. That will show you what queries are running and how
long they take. That is usually where bottlenecks exist.

Then you can use can HTTP monitor like Fiddler or Charles to browse
through your site and see how long individual requests take.

If the requests take significantly longer than the queries, then you
need to dig deeper either by using ASP.NET's trace functionality or a
profiler or performance monitor. I think a profiler would get you the
fastest results, but you really need to be a programmer to be able to
use one and understand it's output. I like redgate's ANTS Profiler
myself.

If you can find a bottleneck, then the best thing is to feed this info
back to your programmers and have them fix it and also document how
you found it and express that you're doing their job for them blah
blah blah.

HTH,

Sam

Greetings all, I am the Web maintenance guy for a non-profit org, and
have been getting a lot of complaints that our website is running slow
(and I agree at times), we run asp.net but outsource our programming.
I was wondering if maybe you could help out and give me any clues as
to why our website could be running so slow. I've spoken about it with
our programmers and they said they have changed some of the code so
that it doesn't hit the database as often which makes sense but I saw
little to no change really. The website especially runs slow if it's
not cached in your browser and from google analytics most of our daily
visitors are new.

I am not sure if it is a hosting problem or a programming problem,
that is why I posted in this group any tips/hints/ideas and help is
welcome.

Thank you all very much in advance.- Hide quoted text -
