Before reading this, does anybody also find DNN to sometimes "hang" Internet Explorer? Firefox is much quicker when rendering sites (and obviously DNN sites as well). I am not blaming DNN, it could be a problem with our site.

We have site that is built on DNN 3.2.2. Can be found here http://demo.mygenius.co.za Speed is terrible at the moment. Through experience and trial and error we have found and taken the following actions:

  • Skin used js. Invalid file references which made site slow. Fixed and speeded up
  • Optimized skin size
  • Installed Blowery compression
  • This is a weird one. Didn't use Friendly URL's and this made navigation speed horrendous (some pages just took ages). Converted and speeded site up, but still not as good as it can be. We have a custom navigation module that we use to navigate between pages and set the context of the page, i.e. first person view (I view my own profile) or I view someone else's profile.
  • Disabled almost all logging

I have read ASP.NET forums where there are talks about speed etc. One thread talks about a PageStats module, but this seems to not exist. Does anyone know of something that can show page render time to troubleshoot DNN speed?

I am really running out of help to try and figure out what is making this site so slow.

Hey Raldo,
You're right - that has to be one of the slowest loading sites I've seen.  I've been waiting for over a minute and it still hasn't loaded up.

Who is your hosting provider?  Have you talked to them?

Update:  It took 2:37 for your site to load on my PC.

Please can you check http://demo2.mygenius.co.za  ? This is just a default DNN 3.2.2 installation. No funny stuff here. Don't know from where you are accessing the site, but South Africa (where site is hosted) has been experiencing massive issues with international bandwidth, so you would most probably experience much slower than we are experiencing from within SA.

If default DNN 3.2.2 is also very slow it is most probably link to SA. Let me know. Thanks.

I personally wouldn't consider DNN itself slow, but I would say that DNN is more resource intensive than most other ASP.NET sites but that's because DNN is also a lot more flexible and powerful than most other ASP.NET sites.

With your site, I would recommend talking to your hosting provider and seeing if they can jump you to another server or something.  It could be that the server you are on is overloaded and that's why it is going slow.
