A typical DNN page goes through a long life-cycle of events before getting rendered to the browser. This poses some serious performance issues, user experience problems, not to mention the load on the DB & the Hosting server. This could be a serious problem in Shared Hosting environments.

A common application of DotNetNuke is to create web portals for providing information to the audience. Most of the stuff is static which is updated only occasionally. I have created a DNN module for this purpose and other such common Admin tasks. This feature of the module can be used to cache such tabs so that the output is generated once, which is cached for a configurable duration. This provides better response times to subsequent users, and less load on Hosting.

The module has been uploaded and hosted on codeplex at:

http://www.codeplex.com/DNNAdminModule

So, it is free, and available for everyone. More details and its other features are documented on codeplex's wiki for this project. Please use it and report any feedback/bugs you may come across.

 Honey,

are you aware that DotNetNuke already provides a lot of caching including module output caching, which means that rendered output of any non-personalized module can be cached for a configurable time, which should significantly reduce the effort to display the page - I am not sure, how  much your module is able to add on top...

Sebastian,

It looks like the difference is that it caches the whole tab/page, not just a single module.  Interesting idea .

Sebastian, I am fully aware of the extensive caching facilities provided by DNN to modules.

And I must say, my module is NOT a replacement for that. Rather, it is built on top of DNN's caching capabilities as the tab's content is cached through DNN's own DataCache .

However, even with Module caching enabled for all modules on a page/tab, the process of loading up the skin, together with many other routine tasks DNN performs for a request are redundant if the content is not chaging between requests. This is where my module comes in. Instead of whole life-cycle, and individual look-ups for each module's content, a single look-up for the entire page/tab is enough for the request to be served.

What's more, modules perform caching according to their internal logic, with no admin control over it. This tab caching module allow admins a more precise control over which and for what time the content is cached.
