What are the basic performance counters that I should care about to measure the performance of my ASP.NET web site?

  • Article

  • Review the ASP.NET Applications\Requests/Sec counter to determine how fast you are able to process work per second.  Higher is better.

  • Revew the ASP.NET Applications\Request Execution Time counter to determine how fast a page takes to execute.  Lower is better.

  • Review the ASP.NET Applications\Requests In Application Queue counter to determine if any requests are waiting at the application level.  Lower is better.

  • Review the ASP.NET Applications\Errors Total/Sec counter to determine if you have a high rate off errors.  If so, fix the errors and check this counter again.  Lower is better.
