I am evaluating the Windows Azure WebSites Preview (WAWS I think, not sure with all these changing names and acronyms that Microsoft loves to mutate on) with DotNetNuke (DNN) which I am also using for years on a "non cloud" V-Server. Installation was a breeze. I only tried the free shared instance and I have tested with 1 and with 3 active instances with similar results.

First hit performance always was a problem with my previous DNN installations(https://www.dnnsoftware.com/), when a website was idle for a while (15 minutes or so) the process would stop and then the next unlucky visitor will wait at least around 20 seconds. With some IIS tweaking it was possible to minimize this problem but I had the best results with a monitoring service that will request a page from DNN every five minutes and keep the process up.

While surfing the DNN page usually performs well on WAWS, I immediately noticed that the "first hit" problem is an issue with DNN on WAWS (Microsoft Azure(https://mindmajix.com/microsoft-azure-training))so I configured a monitoring service for the page. That did not help and the monitoring service will always report that the site is down. Almost as if WAWS was trying to avoid keeping the site up since it detected that only a monitoring service was requesting the page.

Also, when navigating on the DNN pages and then pausing for just a minute or two, I will often get an "Internet Explorer could not load this page" error with no specific error code.

Do others have experience with the DNN performance on WAWS or maybe know why the "first hit" is such a problem?

Thanks
