John,

I have a site that doesn't get a lot of traffic. Your product seems very robust and I intend to use all of it's features in time but I got it primarily to reduce the load time when the site is first hit (my hosting service recycles my app pool after 20 minutes of non activity and currently takes about 30 seconds to load). I downloaded your community PageBlaster to evaluate before pruchasing and I'm hoping that it will take care of my long loading issue en lue of a keep-alive service.

1. Will your community app accomplish this? (I have it installed on my portal but it doesn't seem to help, still a 30 second load time)

2. If it will accomplish this, how do I configure it to do this? (I currently just have it configure portal-wide and don't have it on any individual pages)

If this works for me, I plan to buy your production module for other portals too. Can you help me out?

Thanks,

Jason

Hi Jason,
No, PageBlaster does not artificially keep your application alive.
It will help the initial load time a little since your application will not have to go to the Database after startup, but the initial startup lag of loading the application into memory will still be there.

The professional version also has the option of making a static html page out of your home or other pages, which will hide the startup of asp.net if it happens to be unloaded.

My advice is to get a monitoring service to check your site every 15 minutes. That way you will not only keep it alive, but you will also know when something is wrong.

Thank you sir. I'll take your advice with the listing service. I look forward to using your module on some other protals.

Thanks again.
