Can someone give me some tips or point me to a good resource for reducing response and load times for web pages on a windows 2008 server? I have a website with about 2000 users and currently it takes anywhere from 8-10 seconds for some of the pages to load. When I look at firebug I see that there are a lot of files being called and that most of them have a fairly long response time from the server. To compare, I decided to Firebug the new google plus network, which is a similar concept to our own and everything loads pretty much instantly and has MUCH lower response and load times, about 10% of what mine is. I'm sure this isn't simply more powerful hardware, but how that hardware is configured and the way the files in the server are stored possibly? Please help and thanks in advance! Aaron

Hi, I would like to confirm if this issue occurs on all the webpages or only the internal webpages? In addition, if this issue occurs on all the computers or only one computer? If this issue occurs on all the webpages and all the computers, you should check the firewall or Forefront TMG settings if you have it installed. For further assistance, you’d better submit a new question to the following forum: Forefront TMG and ISA Server http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/Forefrontedgegeneral/threads If this issue occurs on only one computer, please try to reset Internet Explorer settings or update it. For more information, please refer to the following Microsoft KB article: How to reset Internet Explorer settings http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 If this issue occurs on only the internal webpages, please ask for further assistance from the IIS forum below: IIS http://forums.iis.net/ Regards,Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
