Tip 1:

Put first things first, what I mean here is to be able to identify the system’s bottleneck, where you are expecting to have a highly loaded functionalities, what are the integration points of those functionalities,  are we connecting to a 3rd party web service which will decrease the network performance, are we having  a poor hardware configuration for the SQL server which will lead in a further stage in a poorly processing power “CPU”.

Tip 2:

Why you don’t utilize the web load test and the web test scenarios Tool provided by the Visual Studio Team system, it is really a very handy tool when you need to examine your web application under stress, using the Load Test will allow you to check where is your performance problem resides, is it on the front end server, is it because of a network latency, is it because of your SQL server.

Tip 3:

Trying as much as possible to decrease the size of your developed pages allows for having a potential performed web application, this affects the network bandwidth a lot. By trying to avoid large view state, large embedded HTML you will get a minimal page size as possible.

Tip 4:

Caching…Caching…and Caching please try to use it, you have the a real weapon that works fine to improve your application’s performance really fast, try to put a caching plan for your application to know which parts of your application’s data will be cached, you also have the ability to cache the output HTML to avoid the rendering process each time a user requests your page.
To be continued….
