title: Asp.net slow first load per user
body: <p>I have a website set up with in IIS 7 with HTTPS, and every time a user access it for the first time the load time is about 15 sec.</p>
  
  <p>THIS IS NOT the compile/warm up "problem" described for instance her: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2102609/slow-first-page-load-on-asp-net-site">Slow first page load on asp.net site</a> 
  I know about that "problem" and I also have that, but that is of course expected and not the issue here.</p>
  
  <p>Since it's not when the application loads first time since recycle/start. If I open another browser and access it after doing it first in another browser then it takes the same amount of time. So it seems every time a session is started, that's when the delay happens. All following requests from the same user/browser is as quick as expected.</p>
  
  <p>This is for an admin interface site I have and I use asp.net membership. Although the delay happens even before the user have logged in. So I'm not sure if that is the culprit.</p>
  
  <p>I am a bit unsure where to look for killing the delay. I am running session state in process. With cookies.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
