Unit 3: Optimizing Web
Application Performance
This unit introduces
topics that will help you improve the performance of Web applications. It
describes how the Page Scripting Object Model can help reduce the number of
round trips for communication between the server and the browser, and then
explains how tracing and instrumentation can be used to monitor and, therefore,
improve the performance of a Web application. The unit discusses how caching
and asynchronous processing can help increase Web application performance; it
then highlights some considerations that developers must address if the Web
application is to be deployed in a Web farm environment.
