ASP.NET Websites

Hi All,

I'm looking into writing an image handler to optimise the images on my asp.net website.

Anyone else out there who has attempted something similar ?

Hoping to increase the performance of a website by doing it.

Declan Feely, you still going around with a house phone in your pocket?

seriously though, what type of optimization do you need? you could probably tune your site to use less images, less http requests (http://headjs.com/ or require.js). Is there much to be gained doing pre-processing on images in .Net?

Also, the System.Drawing namespace is not supported for Asp.Net. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/390532/system-drawing-in-windows-or-asp-net-services

Hey Al,

The house phone is an all exclusive deal with UPC , it's dealy, really cheap, but the range is terrible.

I only seem to get phone calls within 100 yards of the house.


On the image thing , working on ecommerce sites at the moment, a lot of images
even the thumbnails are way to big !
Handlers seem to be the way to go.

I'll have a look at that head.js

amen

so if the images are to big resize them and reload them. Why are you trying to write a handler to do that ? ( or have I missed something)

When you say the site is slow are you sure its the images? Is it your hosting, db, server etc
