The Evolution Profiler utility provides you with information about how the page was loaded, as well as how long each part took to load.
This is perfect for troubleshooting cases where specific pages are taking longer to load than expected as it will allow you to narrow down exactly where the performance issue is located.
This tool may be of less help if you’re experiencing site wide performance issues – it will help if there is one particular cause on every page that’s being slow, but will not help in the case of a load related issue where everything is running slow.
The profiling functionality is powered by http://miniprofiler.com/
After a page has loaded, a list of timings will be shown in the top left of the screen, each one showing how long it has taken to load a resource used by the current page. Clicking on one of these these timings will open a popup showing a hierarchy of the operations taken to that resource.
By default, performance results will be shown to all users accessign the community from the server itself, as well as Administrators. This can be customised by configuring the Performance Profiler plugin.
1. Copy the contents of the /web/ folder into your community.
2. Go to the Manage Plugins Page in your community (Control Panel > Site
Administration > > Manage Plugins)
3. Enable the "Performance Profiler" plugin
1. Copy the following files from your Telligent Evolution website's /bin/ directory
to the /References/ folder
* Telligent.Caching.dll
* Telligent.Common.dll
* Telligent.Evolution.Components.dll
2. Open the EvolutionProfiler.sln solution in Visual Studio and Compile
Output will be copied to the /Deploy/ folder
Some users may find that the profiler popup fails to load after installing the plugin due to the MiniProfiler resources from /utility/profiler returning 404s. I'm not entirely sure what is causing, however it appears to be a bug in .net 4.0 as I have yet to see this issue occur on a machine with .net 4.5 installed.
As a workaround for this issue, register the following handler in the section of your community's web.config.
<add name="MiniProfiler"
path="utility/profiler/*"
verb="*"
type="System.Web.Routing.UrlRoutingModule"
resourceType="Unspecified"
preCondition="integratedMode"
/>
