Being the most popular and widely used Microsoft Technology today, ASP.NET is expected to do a lot by the community. And it comes through even when other technologies are rapidly advancing. ASP.NET powers many high-performance, enterprise-level websites and web apps. There are expectations for modern-day websites and web apps as well. 

One of the most wanted features for a website today is a great loading speed and performance. If anything online takes too long to show itself, be it a mobile app, website or web app, it annoys users who may never visit again. Today’s internet users enjoy high-speed bandwidth and fast online IT services. It’s not surprising when they expect good performance and speed from the apps they use. 

As a matter of fact, every company availing ASP.NET development services demand fast, high performance solutions. ASP.NET makes it possible for developers to increase web app performance in a number of ways. Here are a few tips to improve app performance when using ASP.NET MVC.

• App caching: Caching plays a key role when it comes to accelerating app development. Application caching can be implemented when making database calls to retrieve records. When the website or web app uses cache feature, it saves data on the cache on the first request so that when the data is requested again, the retrieval process would be faster. 
  
• Sprite images: Images in websites or web apps are meant to increase user engagement, make things more understandable to users, and make the web pages more appealing. But too many images in a website means it will take more time to load. This is where Sprite image has to be used. Sprite image combines multiple images into one that requires only a single download. All that needs to be done is to simply install Sprite Image Generator into your MVC application. 
  
• AJAX used wherever possible: AJAX is not new, and has been around for a while. It’s known to accelerate various tasks on a website and can also be used for asynchronous data downloads. However, too many AJAX requests can still lead to performance issues. AJAX can be used when the data needs to be shown while the user scrolls up or down the page, and not when the user isn’t actively trying to view the data.
  
• Image optimization: High quality images in websites can slow the websites down. There’s the fact that these images are typically big in size. For the web page to load the images faster, the images need to optimized – reduced size without compromising image quality. Using the Visual Studio Image Optimizer add-on in the application can optimize the images.
  

Conclusion

These are just a few great practices to improve web app performance. Most app performance improvements are code-specific but easy to implement. Leading developers in the website and software development in Dubai industry follow these best practices to ensure high performance of the apps they build.
