Tools That Can Boost Your ASP.NET Performance

Posted by john andric on December 4th, 2017

There are a number of tools that can enhance the performance, all together is just ‘Data’. Many Mobile App Development Company offers a range of tools that are their own products covering the required factors. Here are some of those tools that can accelerate the application performance:

IIS Logs

The web server access logs come handy when you want to track a loading request or tail the log files. If you didn’t go for APM solution then the basic step to monitor the ASP.NET monitoring performance is to parse the IIS logs and further identifying the priority of the requests. Managing all this on your own can be a little overwhelming for this purpose take support from 3^rd party.

The Visual Log Parser does provide a shortcut to arrange the queue which makes it easy to view. But the time taken is much more as it also included the client network time. Some of the popular log management tools are Stackify, Spluck etc.

Application Performance Management

The APM for .NET is a tool that can collect the high-level details to monitor the performance as well as identify the issues. Basically, they are designed to handle the light-weight code so it won’t affect the performance while profiling each web request.

Many of the new versions of coding and several cloud hosting are not supported by it, making it a rather expensive tool to use. But it also has its advantages like, can be used on any app without many any change in configuration or code. Tools that can be used for this purpose are Dynatrace, New Relic etc.

To Track Exceptions

Application Exceptions are one of the most faced problems, that’s why every development team must use such tools to track errors. It is essential to monitor the exceptions and aggregate all of them to find issues if any. Under the server load, even the already handled exceptions are capable of creating performance trouble.

To setup, the exception tracking is easy when done by Nlog, or any other logging framework. This may collect noisy error while looking for unnecessary exceptions.

Code Profilers

If the code is efficient the performance is automatically increased and to go through the whole code line-by-line you need a .NET code profiler. The tweaking is increased by many times when code profiler works together with a Windows Services.

This can be used to track down errors with production performance and can even run an in-depth analysis. But this code-level profiling tends to slow down the application; the Red Gate ANTS and Telerik are two of the well-known code profilers.

Key Promotion Indicators

Using custom application metrics or KPIs is one of the most popular method to track the performance of your app. Windows Performance Counters can be used to track the metrics or a 3^rd party support can also be taken to do the same.

Several tools are available in the market to enhance the performance of the application or you can always opt for the third party and hire a professional to resolve the issue.
