loading website

Hi,

Windows 2003, IIS6:

After restarting IIS, a website or an application pool, the time to see a
website for the first time on a client-computer takes a little longer.

Is it possible (for "speed-reasons") to load a website (after restarting
IIS, a website or an application pool) artificially from within IIS, as it
would have been called from a client-computer?

How do I do this?

Thanks for your feedback.

Patrick

We considered such a feature, to preload a restarted worker process,
but it was a low-priority feature and never made it. There are just
way too many ways the user can compensate for the feature.

If you can restart IIS, you can also script to send that initial
warmup request to the website.
