The problem is that my application loads slow if there has been no activity in about 30 minutes or so. My login page shows quickly but it can take 30 seconds to a minute to see the default page once I submit my login credentials. If I logout and log back
in, the site responds immediately.
I have researched this quite a bit, and here is what I have tried:
1. IIS -> Idle Timeout = 0
2. IIS -> Recycling -> Reqular Time Interval = 0
3. In an attempt to keep the app and app pool alive, I also created a "page requester" program that requests a dummy pinger.aspx page. This dummy pinger.aspx doesn't display anything or require login, but it does a query or two on the admin and user table.
4. I also use an online tool to "ping" my apps every 5 minutes.
Still no luck on keeping the app alive. What am I missing?
Here is a screen grab of my iis settings ...
