Description

Do you think that only experts with a deep understanding of the inner workings of ASP.NET, SQL Server, and IIS can improve a website's performance? Think again – because this book tosses that notion out of the window. It will help you resolve every web developer's nightmare – a slow website – with angry managers looking over your shoulder, raging calls from advertisers and clients – the lot. You don't have the time or energy to gain a thorough and complete understanding of ASP.NET performance optimization – You just need your site to run faster! This book will show you how.This hands-on book shows how to dramatically improve the performance of your ASP.NET-based website straight away, without forcing you through a lot of theoretical learning. It teaches you practical, step-by-step techniques that you can use right away to make your site faster with just the right amount of theory you need to make sense of it all.Start reading today and you could have a faster website tomorrow.Unlike other performance-related books, here you'll first learn how to pinpoint the bottlenecks that hold back your site's performance, so you can initially focus your time and energy on those areas of your site where you can quickly make the biggest difference. It then shows you how to fix the bottlenecks you found with lots of working code samples and practical advice, and just the right amount of theoretical detail.The first chapter details techniques for diagnosing performance issues using Waterfall charts. Subsequent chapters then each focus on one individual aspect of your website, providing you with numerous real-life scenarios and performance-enhancing techniques for each of them. In the last chapter, you learn how to effectively load-test your environment in order to measure the change in performance of your site without having to update your production environment – whether it is a new release or simply a small change in the database.

Who is this book for?

This book is written for ASP.NET/SQL Server-based website developers who want to speed up their site using simple, proven tactics without going through a lot of unnecessary theoretical learning. If your website isn't performing well, this is the ideal book for you.

What you will learn

Learn how to pinpoint and fix bottlenecks relating to all aspects of your site – server side, client side, code, images, and database.
Ensure shorter wait times for your site.
Eliminate the need to hire a DBA, by speeding up database access using insight into index structures and other advanced techniques.
Drastically speed up image loading, by exploiting browser behavior and by removing the hidden overhead in each image file.
Use ASP.NET s caching feature to dramatically improve performance by adding just a few lines of code.
Prevent a little known bottleneck overlooked by most developers – a shortage of worker threads in IIS – by using asynchronous methods.
Enable compression in IIS 6 and IIS 7 to cut file transfer times and bandwidth costs.
Reduce your Memory and CPU usage.
Optimize the deployment and usage of forms on your website.
Speed up JavaScript and CSS loading.
Diagnose problems as they occur, using waterfall charts.
Load-test your environment to measure the level of improvement in performance.
Find heaps of reference links and descriptions of free and low cost tools and services that make it easy to spot performance issues right away.

Term "ASP.NET performance" returns more than 60,000 results on Google search. If you need to learn how to develop fast ASP.NET websites, it's easy to get lost in the ocean of articles, instructions, and blogs. ASP.NET Performance Secrets makes this task much easier.The book is not just a collection of tips and secrets; it rather describes a systematic approach to optimizing websites. Book content is a workflow of the optimization process. It lists the areas that performance-minded developers need to bear in mind to improve speed of webpages.It starts from diagnostic, then goes into areas such as optimizing memory, CPU, caching, and reducing time to first and last byte, and then covers more advanced topics such as threading and load testing. It also describes techniques helpful to keep any websites fast (not only ASP.net) such as optimizing javascript, images, database and compression.While beginners may want to read the entire book as a practical guide, it also can be used as a reference book. It is well organized and every chapter can be read independently. I keep this book handy and return to the chapters that I need for particular projects.

When I first got this book I thought it was going to be a compilation of tips and tricks. I was quite surprised with the fact that it really wasn't. The author starts out by telling you how you to determine the bottlenecks in your site then goes into a lot of samples on how to correct and / or improve them. He covers memory, CPU, caching, compression and more.This book is definitely worth a read then a reread every once in a while. I plan on implementing some of the suggestions for my sites.

There are few ASP.NET Performance books out there and even fewer good ones.This one I like. Matt Perdick has taken an interesting approach by not just presenting technology tips and tricks that can be used to positively effect performance but rather presents the technologies in the context of a methodology one can use to identify and resolve performance problems in their own web applications.Matt covers the tools you can use with the bottleneck pinpointing process to find and fix issues with :*Time to First Byte*Memory Usage*CPU Consumption*Caching*Browser*Proxy*Output*IIS Output*Data*Thread usage and Asynchronous Architectures*Reducing Long Wait Times*Database Access*Time to Last Byte*Compression*Forms Optimization*JavaScript and CSS*Images*Load TestingIt's easy to read with ample code samples and screenshots and contains many, many of the kind of tips you would expect concerning things like ASP.NET View State, Element Ids, working with User Agent specifics, etc.A good addition to your ASP.NET Expertise.

Many of the SQL tuning tips apply to any sort of application that runs on SQL Server. What's more the author makes it easy for regular software developers to understand especially in regards to index creation.
