posted by

grabnerandi 1132 days, 1 hour, 6 minutes ago

Microsoft released the next version of it’s Development IDE Visual Studio 2010. In fact – VS2010 is more than just an IDE to write applications. It also became a testing solution with the built-in Web-, Load- and functional testing capabilities. In a recent blog post and in a recent MSDN Webinar I demonstrated the capabilities of VS2010 Ultimate and how dynaTrace extends it with a set of Add-Ons to elevate Load-Testing and to speed up root-cause analysis of application performance problems. We’ve just u... (more)

Web Performance Best Practices: How masters.com re-designed their site to boost performance – and what that re-design missed

posted by

grabnerandi 1140 days, 17 hours, 13 minutes ago

Last week I blogged about the 6 Steps to identify the major web site performance problems on sites like masters.com. Unfortunately for me I did the analysis 3 days before they re-launched their website. The site looks really nice now – great job. They fixed some of the problems I highlighted in the blog and also follow more of the best practices outlined by Google and Yahoo. In order to give them credit for the work they put in I ran another analysis on the new site. It should be interesting for every... (more)

How Tiger Woods could crash the performance of www.masters.com – before the first tee

posted by

grabnerandi 1147 days, 1 hour, 20 minutes ago

It used to be that the only people who would tune in for the Masters were readers of Golf Digest. This year, however, you can add to that base audience the readers of People, InTouch, and even the National Enquirer. While Tiger Woods may not appreciate all the increased attention, it can only help boost ratings for the Masters itself. The problem is that if all those viewers try to visit www.masters.com, they might find themselves waiting a long time to see if Elin turns up. In order to understand some ... (more)

grabnerandi 1151 days, 17 hours, 27 minutes ago

I recently blogged about the Load Testing Capabilities of Visual Studio 2010 and the new extension interfaces that we from dynaTrace use to extend VS2010 Web- and Load-Testing to go beyond .NET and standard load-testing reports: VS2010 Load Testing for Distributed and Heterogeneous Applications powered by dynaTrace. Next week I am going to do a Webcast hosted by MSDN to show how dynaTrace enables users of VS2010 Ultimate to reduce their test cycles when testing pure .NET, pure Java or distributed heterog...

Garbage Collection in IE7 heavily impacted by number of JavaScript objects and string sizes

published 1152 days, 19 hours, 11 minutes ago posted by

grabnerandi 1153 days, 14 hours, 53 minutes ago

After my recent presentation at TSSJS – Performance Anti-Patterns in AJAX Applications - I got interesting feedback from one of the attendees: “The presentation was good but I thought you are talking more about actual problems with XHR/AJAX Requests”. I have to admit that I focused on all common problems of Web 2.0 applications – including network roundtrips, JavaScript and Rendering – and not just on those related to asynchronous communication. The comment made me work on a sample application where I wa... (more)

How to avoid the Top 5 SharePoint Performance Mistakes

published 1156 days, 13 hours, 30 minutes ago posted by

grabnerandi 1158 days, 16 hours, 58 minutes ago

SharePoint is without question a fast-growing platform and Microsoft is making lots of money with it. It’s been around for almost a decade and grew from a small list and document management application into an application development platform on top of ASP.NET using its own API to manage content in the SharePoint Content Database. Over the years many things have changed – but some haven’t – like – SharePoint still uses a single database table to store ALL items in any SharePoint List. And this brings me... (more)

One of my daily activities is checking interesting blog posts on various performance related topics. Today I stumbled across the blog 10 Cool Websites with Amazing jQuery Effects. I started looking at these pages which really have nice UI features implemented with jQuery. What many of these pages have in common is that they contain a huge number of images that are all hosted on the same domain. Depending on which browser you have this can result in long loading times of all images or other embedded objec... (more)

VS2010 Load Testing for Distributed and Heterogeneous Applications powered by dynaTrace Performance, Scalability and Architecture – Java and .NET Application Performance Management (dynaTrace Blog)

published 1165 days, 20 hours, 5 minutes ago posted by

grabnerandi 1166 days, 17 hours, 48 minutes ago

Visual Studio 2010 is almost here – Microsoft just released the first Release Candidate which looks pretty solid and good. Microsoft added new interfaces for performance management solutions like dynaTrace to extend the Web- and Load-Testing capabilities (check out Ed Glas’s blog on what’s in VSTS Load Testing) to go beyond .NET environments and deeper than what Load Testing Reports tell you about the performance of the tested application. But before we go into what can be done by extending Visual Studi... (more)

In Part I of this blog series I gave a general overview of BizTalk - the components that are involved in message processing and talked about how BizTalk specific performance counters can help spotting problematic areas. In this post we go beyond performance counters (even though we still need them) and take a deep-dive into adapters and pipelines.Step 2: Analyzing BizTalk Adapters On the incoming or receiving side of BizTalk – Adapters receive artifacts, e.g.: the File Adapter reads files from disk that...

Microsoft BizTalk enables companies to integrate and automate their business process (BPM). In a BizTalk environment messages are picked up by adapters and put through a robust message infrastructure where an orchestration engine allows you to implement your business processes. Along the way – a message takes – there are several points where performance of the overall message processing can be negatively impacted and therefore impacts your business.

The Real Performance Overhead of CSS Expressions

published 1187 days, 18 hours, 29 minutes ago posted by

grabnerandi 1188 days, 16 hours, 41 minutes ago

Steve Souders wrote this in Best Practices for Speeding up Your Web Site regarding CSS Expressions: “CSS expressions are a powerful (and dangerous) way to set CSS properties dynamically” … and … “The problem with expressions is that they are evaluated more frequently than most people expect” Last week I worked with a user of the dynaTrace AJAX Edition. Their team has done some performance investigations with CSS Expressions and came up with an interesting discovery which totally backs Steve’s comme... (more)

Ensuring Web Site Performance – Why, What and How to Measure Automated and Accurately

posted by

grabnerandi 1223 days, 4 hours, 38 minutes ago

It is a fact that end user response time is critical for business success. The faster web pages are perceived the longer users tend to stay on the page and therefore spend more money and drive business. In order to ensure that end user response times are acceptable at all times it is necessary to measure the time in the way the end user perceives performance. Measuring and monitoring your live system is important to identify problems early on before it affects too many end users. In order to make sure t... (more)

101 on Prototype CSS Selector Performance

published 1264 days, 20 hours, 32 minutes ago posted by

grabnerandi 1266 days, 16 hours, 40 minutes ago

Performance implications of certain CSS Selectors are not specific to a certain JavaScript Library like Prototype. I recently blogged about the internals of CSS Selectors in jQuery. The same holds true for every JavaScript library that offers CSS Selectors. Certain lookups can be done by using the native browser functions like getElementById or getElementsByTagName. Lookups by class name are not natively supported in IE and are therefore implemented in JavaScript by iterating through all elements in the ... (more)
