IIS Blowout Corruption
Had IIS on TEST go corrupted yesterday and had to remove and re-install. I do not know why, but the following firewall setting got cut off and I had to ensure it was enabled.
PORT :443 Insure inbound traffic rule was turned ON. This was preventing me from accessing the Web site remotely.

15 years and you would think that I would have learned not to trust another developers code who no longer works for the company. I am at the closing of a very tough conversion for responsive design and the jQuery is not right from the original developers.
UGH 3 hours on this, but got it figured out.

First Byte Time “FBT” www.webpagetest.org
First and foremost I hope this helps some others, I find it very
important to share knowledge that will help others to improve their Web sites
on the Internet.
I have been scratching my head trying to figure out why I
was receiving an “F” rating on www.webpagetest.org for First
Byte Time “FBT”. After some research and additional testing on
www.shoeshow.com I have come to the following conclusions:
Reasons
why First Byte Time takes so long
- Number of requests/responses needed to build the page
- Does the page have a lot of Dynamic content on the page (aka how many database calls are going back and forth for data)
- Size of the overall page
- Size of CPU and MEMORY of the HOSTING SERVER. The more powerful the SERVER the faster processing you will receive.
- Do you have a VM Server or a Dedicated Server
My test sample was for the home page of www.shoeshow.com
I got an “F” for FBT every time, that is because this page has a lot of dynamic
content and unless I dissect and rebuild this page it will continue to receive
an “F” although
the overall page is loading in under 2 sec. However, If I go to https://www.shoeshow.com/reward-points it gets a “B” because there is very little dynamic or
programming on that page and not many images.
Finally when I run our https://www.shoeshow.com/404.aspx we get an “A” because there is no images and no coding.
My overall opinion is that FBT is important, but can also be a
false/positive.
And Finally --- Utilize a CDN if you want a fast responsive Web site. I cannot believe the overall performance of using a CDN --- Yes I will plug https://www.akamai.com/

What is the difference between ByVal and ByRef?
Xiaoyun Li MSFT answers ---
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/vstudio/en-US/07b9d3b9-5658-49ed-9218-005564e8209e/what-is-the-difference-between-byval-and-byref

When you write a subroutine or function, you can pass variables from your main code to that subroutine or function.
If you want to pass the value of the variable, use the ByVal syntax. By passing the value of the variable instead of a reference to the variable, any changes to the variable made by code in the subroutine or function will not be passed back to the main code. This is the default passing mechanism when you don’t decorate the parameters by using ByVal or ByRef.
If you want to change the value of the variable in the subroutine or function and pass the revised value back to the main code, use the ByRef syntax. This passes the reference to the variable and allows its value to be changed and passed back to the main code.
For more information about passing Arguments by Value and by Reference, please refer to MSDN document:
C# ---
.NET Coding: Argument as ByRef (ref in C#) or ByVal (default in C#)

Time Span Check for Store Hours to show... Using a .NET Literal Control
I have done this countless times, but senior moments are happening.
That is all for today....
Now I will always refer back to the My Blog to review...
I like how the conditional logic is written
LowerBound <= Value <= Upper Bound
AndAlso for short circuiting
Till Next Post.
Const timeHourOpen As Integer = 8 Const timeHourClosed As Integer = 16 'Set one hour less because at 5:00 the store will close
If (timeHourOpen <= DateTime.Now.Hour AndAlso DateTime.Now.Hour <= timeHourClosed) Then'Account for greater than 17 hundred hours aka 17:01 callCenterOpen.Visible = True Else callCenterOpen.Visible = False End If
That is all for today....

Web site performance - Keys to running a high performance Web site
So you have built your site and lets say it is an eCommerce site which displays tens of thousands of static images and gets 500,000 session per month.
TEST PERFORMANCE
http://www.webpagetest.org/ (Best performance tester on the Web)
However, you are seeing poor performance from servers around the world. How do you fix this. Well in the coming weeks I will tell you. Right now I am doing research on this very thing and I will return to let you know the results.
Test 1 --- Servers hosted in NC and the site being hit from OR--- Currently the site I am supporting has a first hit load time of 6.226 seconds, but with caching this is reduced to 2.750 seconds on the second hit. However the 6.226 seconds is still way to long.
Test 2 --- Servers hosted in NC and the site being hit from NY --- Currently the site I am supporting has a first hit load time of 4.053 seconds, but with caching this is reduced to 1.319 seconds on the second hit. However the 4.053 seconds is still way to long.
Test 3 --- Servers hosted in NC and the site being hit from VA --- Currently the site I am supporting has a first hit load time of 5.211 seconds, but with caching this is reduced to 3.428 seconds on the second hit. However the 5.211seconds is still way to long.
"F" --- Currently the key issues are the First Byte Time --

"F" --- Currently the key issues are the First Byte Time --
| First Byte Time | Applicable Objects | Time to First Byte for the page (back-end processing + redirects) |
|---|---|---|
| What is checked | The target time is the time needed for the DNS, socket and SSL negotiations + 100ms. A single letter grade will be deducted for every 100ms beyond the target. |
The second issue is Cache of static content, however I cannot cache this content as this is an eCommerce site and you have to be sure you follow PCI rules https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/
How do you decrease this 6.226 seconds issue --- My attempts will be to use Content Delivery Network (CDN) aka EDGE SERVERS.
In the coming weeks I will be updating this blog to give the results.
My work will be to off load the Images, JavaScript Files (JS), and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), to increase performance of the site.
I will be very curious to see if that 500,000 sessions will increase once we implement CDN to increase the sites performance.
More to come.
