Sitefinity has a custom command line tool for precompiling pages.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sitefinity Version: V 7.3 or Above<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Pre-compilation of pages gives the following advantages:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Pages load faster when requested for the first time<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Reduces processor load<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Minimizes the warm up time when a site is deployed.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    \n

    How it Works<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    When a web page is requested, Sitefinity checks the page from the precompiled assembly. If the page is found in the assembly and its version matches with the requested page in the assembly, then the page from the assembly is loaded.<\/span><\/p>\n

    If no matching is found, then the page is compiled dynamically.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The tool uses a URL to connect to the site. It is always recommended to run the tool against the site with most up-to-date database and the application directory of the web application having the most up-to-date templates, user controls, master-pages stored on the file system including the most up-to-date compiled assemblies.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Generally, we use two servers for the development of websites. Staging server<\/strong><\/span> and Live server<\/strong><\/span>. Therefore, as mentioned above, it is always recommended that the tool should be executed in the live environment, as a live site is always with the most recent database and the latest files.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n

    How to Implement<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    In the first step, you need to download and run the Sitefinity precompiler tool<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    https:\/\/sitefinitystore.blob.core.windows.net\/files\/Telerik.Sitefinity.Compiler.1.0.0.12.zip<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

    The tool is\u00a0Telerik.Sitefinity.Compiler.exe<\/span><\/p>\n

    Authentication<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

    The Pre-compiler tool supports two types of Authentication:<\/span><\/p>\n

    1- Authenticate with a Username and Password with Membership Provider.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    For this, the user must be an administrator.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Command Line Example<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    Telerik.Sitefinity.Compiler.exe \/url=”http:\/\/ http:\/\/localhost:51824\/” \/appdir=”D:\\Projects\\SitefinityWebApp” \/username=”sfadminuname” \/password=”admin@6yyg2″ \/strategy=”Frontend” \/membershipprovider=”Default”<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    URL -><\/strong><\/span> URL of the web application<\/span><\/p>\n

    Appdir -><\/span> <\/strong>Physical path of the web application<\/span><\/p>\n

    Username -><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0Username to authenticate i.e. login username<\/span><\/p>\n

    Password -><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0Password to login<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n

    2- Authenticate with an Authentication Key. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    For this, you must have to set the authentication key by logging in Sitefinity backend.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Administration – Settings – Advanced – Pages – Compilation and Set the key in the Authentication key field.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Command Line Example<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    Telerik.Sitefinity.Compiler.exe \/url=”http:\/\/localhost: 51824″ \/appdir=”D:\\Projects\\SitefinityWebApp” \/authKey=”6%6$#7777u{9u~]k3M3Q” \/strategy=”Frontend”<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    As we all know, compilation is always a time taking task in Sitefinity. So, we must identify the problematic pages or user controls. For this Sitefinity has a feature \u201cprecompilation logging<\/strong><\/span>\u201d<\/strong> to trace the same. You only have to enable the feature, which is disable by default.<\/span><\/p>\n
