When you develop a website, it tends to get larger and larger, and then the performance starts to slow down. As you might have experienced, if a web page is slow on your computer, then it will get even worse after you upload it to the Web server due to the slow speed of Internet Connections. As you do not have the power to increase your user’s Internet Connection speed or the Web browser’s capabilities, what you can do is reduce the web page’s load times and improve the overall throughput.

In the following ASP.NET tutorials you will learn two ways in which you can reduce the web page’s load times and improve the overall throughput.

• Turning off “ViewState”
• Caching Content
