Tracing works, if you want something easy to turn on and a bit down and dirty. You can also code a trace listener if you want to log these things.

There are also tools that you can profile your code with, although most of them cost at least something. If you have a Team System SKU, there is a profile included. Not quite what some of the Enterprise tools out there offer, but a good start. DotTrace, from JetBrains, is a nice personal profiler (at $199 for personal, not bad pricing either).

I will have to find the link, but I saw a neat free profiler for the Compact Framework, which I think will work with non CE programs. Note to self: have to find the link. :-)

Hi there,

I have a website that functions fine locally, but when published to the server it develops a bottleneck during loading some of the pages. Basically what happens is the page loads to about 25% then it freezes for anything from 10 - 40 seconds, before suddenly loading the rest of the page.

Of course I understand that this could be down to some code on the page locking the thread or suchlike, but I would like to be able to be able to find exactly where the bottle neck is occuring. Strangely enough this doesn't seem to occur in Firefox although Firefox displays quicker it seems to do whatever is holding IE up in the background so you get the illusion of it loading quicker.

Any suggestions on tools or methods for finding bottlenecks in page loading? Many thanks in advance for your time and help.

Nick.
