Look through this thread for lots of insight on startup performance: Look'n For Speed, who has the fastest DNN Site

If you are serious about performance, you may also want to check out the Free PageBlaster.

You will need to provide some more details on the site. Some questions that come to mind:

Is it hosted on a server with many other sites that would affect its responsiveness? Does the server and database have adequate resources (primarily memory and bandwidth)? Is there any bandwidth constraint set in IIS? Is there content on the site that could slow it down such as synschronous calls to other sites? Are you possibly running it with the debug switch enabled in web.config? Is caching enabled or disabled?

Yes, it is hosted on a server with many other sites on a PIII, 1Ghz ram, win23k server. The bandwidth isn't limited at all and there are no synschronous calls to other sites

Here are the caching parameters:

<caching defaultProvider="FileBasedCachingProvider">
      <providers>
        <clear />
        <add name="FileBasedCachingProvider"
type="DotNetNuke.Services.Cache.FileBasedCachingProvider.FBCachingProvider, DotNetNuke.Caching.FileBasedCachingProvider" providerPath="~\Providers\CachingProviders\FileBasedCachingProvider\" />
        <add name="BroadcastPollingCachingProvider"
type="DotNetNuke.Services.Cache.BroadcastPollingCachingProvider.BPCachingProvider, DotNetNuke.Caching.BroadcastPollingCachingProvider" providerPath="~\Providers\CachingProviders\BroadcastPollingCachingProvider\" />
      </providers>
    </caching>



The site is running in debug mode with the following options:
<compilation debug="true" strict="true">


One more thing: where do I see the debug output?

tanks & regards

Check out: http://www.varealtor.org

It's a large homepage with a lot going on Flash, Newfeeds, Calendar, Announcment Module, and a 200+ item menu. Load time for first user before cache about 5 secs on a fast connection.

Primarily I attribute the speed to utility I picked up on snowcovered called Webkeepalive by Sanibel Logic,
http://www.snowcovered.com/Snowcovered2/Default.aspx?tabid=242&PackageID=3894 It's a windows service that periodically downloads a page from your site, keeping the asp.net app alive indefinately.

We have on moderate caching to disk, and have compression turned off. The server is a P4D with 4G Ram and a 100Bmit conection and gets 100k to 200k page views a day (mixed ASP.net, asp, html). Performace seemed to be improved by using memory caching but our IIS process was growing to 2G's which was unacceptable.

Hopefully this helps!

I know you are probably just being nice when you refer to the free version of Page Blaster. But even though this is an official DNN forum I would still suggest the commercial version of PageBlaster. (Is it against forums rules to mention commercial products?). It's better for DNN newbees, easier to handle, and has functionality that can solve a lot of newbee problems. Including the performance issue.

Of all the modules I ever purchashed (over 700 USD on snowcovered), PageBlaster and ActiveForums are the two absolute best investments. I hope it is not "forbidden" to write such things in the official DNN forums, because I honestly believe that posts such as this are benificial for the community.

I could have saved a lot of time and money if I had be able to identify the best add-on modules early on.
