My Asp.net web site home page take 15-17 second to when typing the address,pressing 'enter' and when there is something (anything) visible on the page. Page has dynamically loading data.
why this is happening and is there any solution to prevent this?
Boy is this open ended!
Have you investigated;
Volume of data being returned
Size of page being returned
Speed of getting the dynamically generated data
Speed of your internet connection
Are you returning any images and if so are they large files
Without knowing more about what your site is doing in the backend, there is little for us to suggest in any real sense.
Please provide more information.
Maybe if you post the URL?

My wordpress website is suddenly slow to respond when I want to view another pages. For example, if I clicked one link on the menu, it took around 10-15 seconds for the website to move to the page linked. However, when the website responded and move to the page, the content loaded fast. So, I thought it was not about the loading speed of my website. Correct me if I am wrong.
Are there any solution for this?
Thanks
It is likely TTFB (time to first byte) problem - it takes a long time for your server to generate the HTML of the page and send it as an answer to the request. Meanwhile when the HTML is already sent - all the js files and images are loading fast enough, as you described. There's just this "delay between switching pages".
This could be caused by plenty of factors, I recommend reading a profound article to understand all the nuances, like this: https://kinsta.com/learn/page-speed/
But in short, the first and most sure way to cut down your page loading speed with the described situation - use page caching. You can use https://uk.wordpress.org/plugins/w3-total-cache/ free plugin as the first step.
Managed WP hosting with built-in caching would be even better, but prices start from 30$ per month if that works for you.

I've been trying to load an image onto an aspx page without revealing its request. I mean - when I monitor the page with Telerik's Fiddler I can see that the image is in the requests list. If I refresh the page, the request is not being shown anymore (apparently the image got cached the first time).
Question: Is it possible to load/cache the image silently, without the user even knowing it had been requested?
After a bunch of hours messing with various techniques involving requests, server side operations and what not, it turned out to be as simple as it can get..
In order to hide the image loading request I modified the previous page.
I have, for example, pages A and B. I need to cloak an image request for page B.
Page A loads a bunch of images already. Lets squeeze in one more? Image gets loaded and cached. When the user opens page B, image is still in cache and is used instead of requesting a new one. All we had to do was to put this
<img src="sampleImage.png" style="display:none" />
code in page A somewhere, so it got requested, loaded and cached, but not shown.Too simple solution to be more embarrased than proud to solve, but this is how I learn, I guess :D
I have a task to list all pages which are opened at that moment and show how many people are on that page.
I am looking for a way to make that happen without keeping any db records or saving information on a text file or smth like that. (Not seccessarily, then. Of course I am going to save that info to a dB, I just wanted to the logic of catching opened page addresses.)
I can of course keep track of every page which are opened till that time, but I want the page address appear on the page when someone opens that address and disappear when user is no longer browsing that address.
Can you give me some ideas how to make that happen using ASP.NET?
Note: I am using web forms with asp.net 4.5
Thanks!
"I just wanted to the logic of catching opened page addresses"
Use javascript in a timed loop (onload and then every 30 seconds perhaps) on every page, to asynchronously post to a page on your server. It should send information identifying the page. This will give you a good idea of how many people currently are on this page.
Store this information in a db in your code-behind, and use this information to report as you wish.
Of course if a user leaves their browser open on one of these pages or opens another tab it will still be reporting as 'open'.
To get the current url in javascript you can use:
var pathname = window.location.pathname;
In google analytics you can see what pages are being used in near-real time.
Why not use that to solve this issue - it's easy to setup.
We have a Google Spreadsheet from which we wish to load data into our webpage.
I started by using the Google Spreadsheet APi via C# and the Google API .NET libraries to read the spreadsheet and load it into an html unsorted list.
The spreadhsheet has about 200 rows, but could have more, as it will be updated frequently. So the problem is that the users have to wait until the spreadsheed data is retrieved and parsed before they can see anything in the webpage (the page is white whilst loading).
How can I load this data in the background whilst the page loads?
I've already written my code in C# and don't much want to spend the time swapping to javascript, but I will if I have to.
Could I use the AJAX Control Toolkit to do this? I know it will load html, but can I use it to fetch google data?
What can I do here that would be fast and easy?
[Edit]
The account that hosts the google spreadsheet is inside a google domain, so it's documents can't be shared to the public as a whole - only to individuals. The C# libraries allow me to use the account's username and password to log into the account to get the spreadsheet data, and so the spreadsheet doesn't need to be shared at all. Even if I went with a javascript/ajax solution, I would yet need this functionality.
Well, this probably isn't the BEST answer, but it IS a solution. I'd like to see if y'all have a better one.
Anyway, I found this, which is an example of how to use an asp:Timer to delay the calling of a function for a certain amount of time - in my case, long enough for the page itself to load. At least this way, the user gets to see the page, and can watch the nice loading-gif until the actual content arrives.
It is an AJAXy approach that allows me to keep my c# programming without having to add any javascript.
In my asp.net 2005 app, I would like conceal the app structure from the user. Currently, the end user can learn intimate details of my web app as they navigate and watch the url change. I don't want the end user to know about my application structure. I would like the browser url to not change if possible. Please advise.
thanks
E.A.
URL rewriting is the only one that can provide any kind of real concealment.
Just moving the requests to AJAX or to frames, means anyone (well, more advanced users) can still see those requests being fired, just not in the address bar.
Simplest solution is to use frames - a single frame that holds your application and is 100% * 100%. The URL will not change though the underlying URL can still be seen via "View Frame info", however only advanced users will even figure that out.
In your pages, make sure that they are contained inside the holding frame.
A couple of possibilities.
1) use AJAX to power everything. This will mean that the user never leaves the home page
2) use postbacks to power everything. In this, you'd have all those pages be user controls which you progrmattically hide or show.
3) URL rewriting (especially if this is asp.net 3.0 or later)
My site uses url parameters to dynamically load ascx files into a single main aspx. So if I get 'page_id=123' on the query string, I load the corresponding ascx. The url changes, but only the query string - the domain part remains the same.
If you want the url to remain precisely the same at all times, then frames (per Oded) or ajax (per Stephen) are probably the only ways to do it.
Short answer: use URL encryption
