Hello,

Does DotNetNuke take this long to load for every single page or just when you first visit the site?  When you first visit a DotNetNuke site, the server has to load the application into its memory,  this takes time.  If however DotNetNuke is regularly visited every 5 mins DotNetNuke will remain in the servers memory and therefore the pages should load quickly.

Users with low traffic sites get around this problem by regularly pinging their URL.  - services which you can use to do this are:
www.host-tracker.com
www.mon.itor.us

Does this help?

Thanks,

I had the same problem. The reason is that the application domain times out every 20 mins if there is no activity, the first request after the timeout can force a recompile and reload of cache. Changing some settings in the machine.config file will solve the problem; unfortunately for me my hosting provider would not allow me to make this change. I found this utility to be useful.

Essentially it "Pings" my home page every few mins so the application domain does not time out. The utility can also be configured to ping more than one page so that auxiliary pages are fast too.
