9 Performance Analysis

10 Disk Configuration Temp DBDB Logs Search Database Content Databases SAN Operating System Temp DB Local Disk Backups

11 Large Lists More than 2000 use sub folders Select only fields needed in Data Form Web Part does not do this Modify Datasource Query with Index columns you filter on Creates a lookup table in SQL that is indexed Use query optimise stored procedure (will be in SP2) Indexes become fragmented quickly if frequent data changes Cache XSLT output

12 Windows Load Balancing Supported by Microsoft Affinity IP address sticky Query and Index Servers Index server does not propagate if also Query All queries go to query server regardless of web front end

13 Compression IIS compressing everything Cannot exclude web services IISExpress Doesn’t compress postbacks F5 Hardware based Optimisation modules costs more PipeBoost Good compression and granularity No Optimisation RPO Compression and Optimisation Must test thoroughly Disable BlobCache?

14 Page Optimisation Core.js in an IFRAME and only when authenticated Modify init.js to remove ActiveX control Remove view state at a page level set on controls Remove in line Javascript and CSS Combine CSS and JS files

15 Output Cache Cache’s entire page output Set globally and overridden at site level Can also be by page layout Templates for Internet, Extranet and Internet Can vary by user rights Vary by Parameters or Querystring Consider cache hit ratio

16 Blobcache – How it works No BlobCache no image or file cache headers Browser will issue 403 All 403’s are checked and session updated in SSP Database Http Modules to add headers do not work Set max-age – not always default correctly Set Frequency to check cache file changeCheckInterval

17 Vanity URL HTTP Module Uses SharePoint list and page event handler Re-Write Used for SEO External published links Re-Direct Support old site URLS with 301 Redirect Page re-write in future

18 Security Block calls to web services _vti_bin by internal IP only in IIS Block Access to /lists and /forms Out-of-the-box lockdown feature also blocks indexer from indexing lists Remove ability to add attachments
