DNN Performance tip

There are times when it takes ages for the DNN login page to load and its really frustrating to just sit and wait for the login page to appear on the screen. There could be many reasons for this to happen, but the most common one is to do with the authentication settings, if the DNN authentication settings are not correctly setup it takes a while for DNN to figure out which authentication provider to show to you thus causing a delay in loading up the login screen. If you are using multiple providers then there’s not much you can do about the settings. In case you are using the standard DNN authentication, here’s what you can do to speed up the loading of the login page -

1. Login as a host into the system
2. Go to the authentication settings(for DNN 4.XX the option is Host->Host Settings, for DNN 5.XX the option is Host->Extensions)
3. Disable the “Open ID” and the “Live ID” providers which are enabled by default due to obligations with the providers
4. Save the settings

The trick here is to disable all the providers that you don’t need.
