The problem with the speed and load carried by dotnetnuke 5 skins and pages are that there 4 ajax or render library’s. All of wish are 1/3 or ¼ implemented in the core. These are MS Ajax, Jquery and Telerik and Own written javascript.  Jquery as a frontend library is not implanted, only for the widgets. With the implementation of Jquery the own written javascript are not converted. The MS Ajax implementation is also adding weight to the load of the pages. Also the Telerik did not replace the MS Ajax things.

Today Google is looking at speed as a parameter for your location in the index. Pages loads of more than 3 or 4 seconds are not helping on getting high in Google. I think that the core will pressure under its weight if it is no heavily optimized in the next 3 to 9 months.

The backwards compatibility that is required to maintain the Dotnetnuke ecosystem is one point to look after, but the speed and size of the core are getting to the point that drastic measures are necessary.   I also know that business have to be run form the paid editions of the product, but how do so sell a product that’s bulky and slow?

Yes, page loading speed issue... There are a lot of 'half-mentioned' guides and solutions out there and non of them really work for an ordinary people.

I've just migrated my site to dedicated server and guess what? More things to configure to have DNN run faster. I wish there is a really complete guide to tune-up DNN rather than just keep on 'teaching' on the surface and left you alone to click on over hundreds of buttons in the server. This especially apply to third party optimization module like PageBlaster (No offense) where you need a lot of skills and knowledge and weeks of time to do trial and errors to have it working with the DNN and modules. (Not the pageblaster problem, it just that DNN has too many js, viewstates, ajax etc).

Also Static File Handler does not work...anyone able to do that for statics files like those in image folder? Give me some light please?
Thanks,
George

 - all static files (css, js, and images) need to have far in the future expiration dates so that the browser can cache these files. Use versioning in the filenames so that you can force the browser to pick up the newer files if they change before the expiration date. Something like ../images/logo.gif?v=1. The browser's cache validation depends on the url. If you need to send a newer version of the logo then do ../images/logo.gif?v=2. It's still the same filename. It's better than having multiple copies of the the image with names like logo2.gif, logo3.gif.

 

Hi Tony,

How do you set your content expiration - through IIS? If so - do you do it at folder and folder level, or just on the root?

Can you elaborate on versioning? If you have control over the HTML I assume you just call the filename with a querystring param and then change this when you change the image - but what about the core - I couldn't change every single image link to do this - does this mean the browsers will always cache the old one until it expires or they clear their cache/Ctrl F5?

What about just setting the cache to a week ahead - that way you get some caching benefits but don't have to worry too much about versioning as they'll only have the old file for a max of 7 days (or whatever) - thoughts?

I have just enabled the PageBlaster Static Image Handler and it's really boosted by YSlow score but you can't seem to set the expiry date for individual folders/files etc.

Thanks

Rodney,

With a little help from YSlow I found a trick to setting static file expiration headers. Put this in your web.config at the end of your system.webServer section.
<staticContent>
      <clientCache cacheControlMode="UseExpires" httpExpires="Tue, 31 Dec 2019 00:00:00 GMT" />
</staticContent>

Thanks Chris, does that affect the PageBlaster StaticImageHandler settings and does it work in IIS6? Is there anway to control it at folder level? And is there anyway to set a rolling duration with that syntax?
