Answer 2

Some things that popped up in my mind

• build in caching
• keep code clean and (unit) testable
• messure code coverage
• optimize database with indexs and check execution plans
• refactor every thing you build
• optimize front end loading time (minification, gzip, compressing)
• use source control

Answer 3

Deactivate Viewstate where you don't need it.

Most important: Make sure to hold the amount of roundtrips as small as possible. Understanding the Life-Cyclus of an asp.net website is most important for that matter.
