ASP.NET Response time of Login page

Question

Hi in my asp.net application, i have one intermediate page(index.aspx) between login.aspx and default1.aspx.

The job of index.aspx page is to check authenticated user role and then just redirect request to valid defaultpage i.e default1.aspx, default2.aspx, default3.aspx.

For this type of requirement our loginpage rendering time is more also after authentication default page rendring time is also high.

For login page it will take around 30-40 sec for first client request.

Please suggest me right way to solve this so that login page come as soon as possible.

Answer 1

Are you sure this isn't just ASP.NET startup time, effectively? I suggest you create an unauthenticated page which just has static text, just for test purposes - I suspect that will take just as long as your login page.

If it's not startup time, I suggest you sprinkle your login page with logging so you can see exactly when it's got to which bit of code - that should help you track down the bottleneck. While you're waiting for the login page, is the CPU busy on the server?

Answer 2

why don't you use asp.net authentication membership class?

Judging by your question, it doesn't seem that you are.
