Why do .aspx pages take so long to load after FTP upload

[accelerator]

Hi

Do you know why it should be that after I FTP upload a .aspx page (in VB.net) it will then take up to a minute for me to be able to request that page in the browser? I also have .ascx controls which every page on my site uses, and when I change and upload these, it effectively makes my whole UK shopping site unavailable for up to a minute.

Please could you advise.

Many thanks

Simple, on first use .net compiles and caches these files. Although it shouldn't take as long as a minuet. In .net2 you can compile the aspx as well as the 'code behind' which makes the whole thing a lot quicker.

Hope that helps
