Hi i have webpage taking too long to load due to acsx controls and DB calls. before loading the content , page took 3-4 secs leaving blank screen for users. So what is the best way , so that i can load a loading gif when it is taking 3-4 secs to get content from server. So that there will be no blank white page when user go to page

Have you thought about using a minifyer to compress your javascript? Like this one. Also Jeff Atwood wrote a blog post about HTTP compression and IIS6 you can read here.

  • Are you using ajax for these calls? – Kyle Jan 12 '12 at 14:04
  • no i am using simple .net controls to get the content. Everything is good , there is only blank screen for first 3-4 secs , which i want to replace with some animation or image so that when i hit the link there is something on screen for user while the page is loading – Simar Jan 12 '12 at 15:28
