My page is slow

[marconline]

Hi everyone and thanks for your help. My web form is formed by a master page, which contains some web user controls. The same web form contains other web user controls.

This page is very slow. Using trace functions I see that it reaches 4-5 seconds to be fully composed by my server. These are some informations for you to help me:

a) I use entity framework
b) Web Application and DB are not on the same machine but both are here locally and connected in LAN
c) I use asp.net caching to cache important objects. When data is taken from cache, page lifecycle is 1,5 seconds. So it's way better but.. it's slow.
d) my webcontrols are formed by webcontrols.
e) tracing shows that the most time consuming events are load and render
f) i tried to remove every control from my master page and from my web form and execution time is still over 0,20 - 0,25 sec

What can that be? Is there any method to verify which is the most time-consuming web user control?

Thanks a lot by now.
Marco

Check out this article. There are other performance analyzing tools out there but they can get pricey.
