  I am using Sitefinity 3.7.2022.220. For some reason, it took me about 80 seconds to login to Sitefinity. Any idea why?
  
  Thanks,
  Pik

  Hello Pik Lee,
  
  We are not able to reproduce such problems. You could face this problem if you have a quite big page data source ( 15000 pages ). From 3. 7 SP3 Sitefinity will be able to handle 1 billion pages.
  
  You can check whether any custom code does not run in the background of a login. You can observe the Request/Response with HttpWatch or Fiddler. You could also use  SQL Server Profiler to see whether something is going wrong with the database.
  
  All the best,

  Thanks for the reply. The web site is working fine and has no problem Just the Sitefinity login page. Is it a table in the database that causing this? Do you know which table?
  
  Thanks,
  Pik

  Hi Pik Lee,
  
  Nolics ORM executes the queries to the database. Using SQL Profiler you can observe the queries that are made when you are trying to log in.  At my end the login is conducted for about one second.

  Thanks for the info. Below is the httpwatch results for my administration page,
  
  + 0.000  81.822 906 39395 GET 200 text/html; charset=utf-8 https://[website]/sitefinity/websites/portal/sitefinity/Admin/Default.aspx
  
  Not sure if this has something to do with the sql server or IIS server? I am not a network person. Can anyone tell me where do I look for to improve this performance of the administration page?
  
  Thanks,
  Pik

  Is it just the first load of the login that is slow?

  
  

  Try this

  
  

  - Login [yes, I know it's slow]

  - Logout

  - Login again [is it fast this time?]

  
  

  IIS, by default, will put an application to sleep if its unused for several minutes (20 minutes I think).  Using the test above, if the 2nd login is fast then this is probably what is happening.  (You can ping the application every 15 minutes or so to keep the application alive.)

  
  

  On the other hand, if the 2nd login is still slow then something else is going on.  How many Sitefinity pages do you have?  What types of custom have you added?  Are you using shared hosting?

  Pik - Is the entire admin site slow?  What happens when you click on the pages section and drill down?
  
  We have lots of pages/permissions and our admin site is really slow.

  Hello Jason M,
  
  There are improvements regarding number of pages that Sitefinity can handle in 3.7 SP3. The SP3 is going to be released next week. If you have problems related to the backend performance when you access the Dashboard or All Pages the SP3 will sort out the issue.
  
  Kind regards,

  I've got this issue with one of my sites.
  
  The site in question was a V3.5 that was upgraded to V3.7
  
  As a 3.5 site, the admin pages loaded very quickly, and there was no problem.
  
  As a 3.7 site, the admin pages that list site-pages, site-templates or site-maps are all *veeeerrrryyy* slow to load.
  
  Hence, logging into the site with a start-screen of say, Dashboard or Sitemap... takes for ever.
  
  However, if I change the start-screen to something like, "Files" - then it logs in pretty quick.
  
  I figure that it's got to be a database problem, perhaps something happened when the site was upgraded, but I've never gotten to the bottom of it to pinpoint the exact cause, and becasue this particular site is not edited much, I have just learned to live with it... especially as it has no effect on the public site, which still runs like a rocket.

  Thanks for all the response.
   
  The page render very slow when I log in. MB is correct. When I "change start screen" to "Files", it render very fast when log in. The page is rendering slow when I click on "Dashboard" tab and "Pages" tab.
  
  Hopefully the 3.7 SP3 will fix this issue.
  
  Thanks,
  Pik

  I'm running 3.7. how do i know if i have SP3 installed? Someone else set my site up and the admin cp runs painfully slow. Especially when loading pages/templates and adding links and images from libraries etc.

  After deploying 3.7 SP3 to production we noticed the admin pages load much quicker.  It would take ~20 seconds to drill down a couple levels and this now takes use ~5 seconds.  Much better!
