Some of the key "take-aways" from TechEd 2010 North America:

  • Caching is key to performance, consider your caching strategy very carefully.
  • Disable viewstate if possible.
  • Set <compilation debug=”false"> in web.config when deploying the app.
  • Consider CDN's or subdomains for graphics and other static content.
  • Place javascript at the bottom of the page, CSS at the top.
  • Consider CSS sprites for icons and other "small" graphics.
