Running sites on "localhost" is extremeley slow.

Question

Hello all,

Having real trouble using my local host to test sites. It runs extremely slow! Sometimes up to a minute to load a page. I'm using firefox and the sites i'm testing run fine on other developers in my office local machines/ on the production server.

I've gone through the normal things :-

1. Disabled IPv6
2. Not running in debug mood
3. Put the site in the highest app pool (High Isolated) on IIS 6.
4. Taking of firewalls etc.

The problem only seems to occur when hitting pages which contain some form of .net code in the code-behind.

Appreciate that this a little bit of a vague topic / stab in the dark but would appreciate any sort of advice - it's horrible waiting a minute each refresh to try out a change!

Cheers, Sean.

Answer 1

After building your project the website needs some time to walk through the new dll :). It's normal that loading a webpage after rebuilding takes some time. This shouldn't happen when only changing something in for example javascript.
