	Loading DSC on the first request seems to take some time. I suspect (my knowledge is pretty thin here) that it is something to do with compiling scripts on first load. Is there a way to speed this up, or do I just schedule a http get first thing every day. JJ

	You can use "Publish" in Visual Studio to compile the source code into binaries. It should speed up the first page load. DotShoppingCart Staff

	Lukesy, When I went to build the website, get this error: Error 1 Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.ExceptionHandling.Logging, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. Failed to grant minimum permission requests. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131417)

	The file is in the web\bin directory. You can just add the reference in the project. DotShoppingCart Staff

	That's the nature of ASP.NET which loads all the dependent assemblies in the first page load. Why is it an issue? All the subsequent page loads are just fine. You won't hit it again until app pool recycles or server restarts. DotShoppingCart Staff

jasonGrapecity Posts: 5 Joined: 6/17/2009	Your right about the nature of asp.net ! The subsequence request to the other pages are fast and so as the request to the homepage. The thing is that after a while and a browser was closed before , say 5 minutes, the request to the homepage is as slow as the very first request. Thanks. Jason

	Check your app pool setting. By default it releases all the resources after it's idle for a while. You can change the idle timeout. But if your site doesn't have lot of traffic, what bother the slow first page load? If you have a shared hosting plan, your ISP might oversell the machine resources. DotShoppingCart Staff

	It's not a problem. It's by design by ASP.NET. DotShoppingCart Staff
