i am trying to develop a web application using a master page on asp.net 4. the application needs to work on an ipad.

i had the site already built, but it loaded so slowly that it timed-out, so i decided to rebuild from scratch to see what might be causing the issue. i put in the least amount of html possible to test, and it loaded in under a second. however, as soon as i added

<script type="text/javascript"> </script>

within the master page head tag the site took close to 10 seconds to load. the same problem occurs if i add a .net control to the content page.

i am using an ipad 3 with javascript turned on.

does anyone have any ideas?

  • Are you using ASP.NET MVC or WebForms? WebForms will add a lot of unnecessary markup to your pages, which may slow them down. – Brian Driscoll Apr 03 '12 at 13:46
  • sorry, i should have indicated that in the original posting - the site was developed using webForms. – RoastBeast Apr 03 '12 at 13:48
  • Are you using any third-party controls such as Telerik or DevExpress? – Brian Driscoll Apr 03 '12 at 13:49
  • no, and right now the site is bare-bones - just some html markup in addition to the content placeholders. – RoastBeast Apr 03 '12 at 14:25
  • How is the behavior of the pages in a browser ( say chrome ,not in ipad ) ? – Biswanath Apr 03 '12 at 18:11
  • i tried it in chrome 17 and there was no delay. – RoastBeast Apr 03 '12 at 18:55
  • Were you able to figure out the issue ? I am curious to know what is making the page slow in ipad. – Biswanath Apr 26 '12 at 22:12
  • sorry, no, i abandoned webForms and instead attempted to employ mvc. unfortunately, the client was bought out and the buyers cancelled the project, so i have therefore stopped development. i would, however, like to revisit the project at some point to see how mvc works with ipads. – RoastBeast Apr 27 '12 at 15:36
  • I have the same problem, asked a different question here - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26933772/mvc-4-website-very-slow-on-ipad but no helpful answers! – Denys Wessels Dec 03 '14 at 10:25
