The overall perfomance is good, but always the first access is very slow.  How to solve this problem? Is it about recycling app pool? I use default setting for app pool. I am new in IIS, any help is welcome! Sorry about any english error. Thank you.

  Re: The first access is slow + PHP + IIS7 Reply Contact Hi, If the request ends up creating a new IIS worker process which will in turn create a new PHP proces, start time and initialization time is definitely going to add up. New appwarmup extension which can be used with IIS 7.5 can help with this by executing set of URLs before apppool is reported as started. Just out of curiosity, which application are you running? How much time the first request is taking? Thanks, Kanwal Follow me on twitter at http://twitter.com/kjsingla

  Re: The first access is slow + PHP + IIS7 Reply Contact Hi, Yes Kanwal is right. There is some warm-up time involved if IIS is not ready to serve PHP request. And Application Warm-up extension can help solving this. This is not relevant for this discussion but we also have WINCACHE extension for PHP which helps in improving PHP performance overall (though not a warm-up solution). But overall your PHP application will run fast. You can download it from http://www.iis.net/extensions/WinCacheForPHP. Details about this extension can be found at http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/678/using-windows-cache-extension-for-php/. Again this would help you run your PHP application faster. This is not a startup performance boost solution. If you haven't tried it give it a try. Thanks, Don.
