Hi all,
I have a web application which gets *very* few hits, especially as its only
just been launched, but even after that it'll be a "quiet" site.
My problem is that when I am the first person to visit it for the day (like
this morning) it takes much longer to load - my understanding (having
attended a MS asp.net course some time ago) was that this is because its
doing the recompile to MSIL (please correct me if I'm wrong). I brought
this up on the course and the instructor chappy did say something about how
to extend its cache so that it didn't do it every day - perhaps once a week
or something - but it was a while ago and do you think I can remember what
he said - nope!
Can anyone give me any suggestions on how to get around this problem - the
content of the site is not dynamic and will only ever change if the client
contacts me to update it - therefore to be honest I would be happy to set
the cache at say 6 months or something longer so that this constant rebuild
problem goes away and thus the site loads faster for the occasional user
that does actually browse to it! :o)
Any help appreciated - I wasn't sure whether the solution to this would be
in the code or possibly within IIS so please excuse my posting if this is
the incorrect group.
Regards
Rob
