Hi,

I am finding that our site typically responds pretty well.
But sometimes I will be going to the logon page, which should load fast, and
I will have to wait about 20 seconds before it displays.
How would I go about finding out if the problem is network related (our
network normally is not normally in heavy use) or is the web server taking
time sending out the page or some other issue?
Thanks,

I see different approaches:
1) Logging. At first, enable server-side logging to see when the request
arrives, when it is processed (add logging in your code), and when it is
sent back to the client. If everything is normal on the server, you can
try to use client-side logging, but it's a bit trickier. I do
client-side logging in two ways:
- Using a web service to create the messages on the client, send them to
the server and log them to the same log file as the server-side logging
- Using JavaScript to write client-side files (but that only works if
certain permissions are set).
For client-side file writing, see

2) Use a HTTP analyzer (for example the excellent Fiddler) to monitor
your traffic.
3) Test in different configurations, with different loads (number of
clients, number of requests) and try to find the smallest common
denominator...
Most probably a combination of 1,2,3 will bring you the answer...

Laurent
