Best Practices To Improve .NET Core Performance

 Load time is one of the important characteristics of website or application performance as it unveils the success of a site. Hence, if a website/app is taking more than 3 seconds to load, customers/users might leave the site and never come back. Hence businesses prefer to have a perfect and robust web app. ASP.NET Core is the best technology for this. ASP.NET Core is an open-source, free, and cross-platform web development system that is created and handled by Microsoft. Though lots of developers are using it, it is necessary to know the best practices so as to improve the website/app performance. Hence here we came with some of the best practices. But before digging into it, let’s have an overview of ASP.NET Core.

What Is ASP.NET Core?

It is an open-source, lightweight, cross platform, fast and re-write of Asp.Net framework that runs on various operating systems like Windows, Linux, and Mac. Speed is one of the important feature of Asp.Net core so that it is optimized for better performance.

Why Should You Use ASP.NET Core?

• You can deploy app on cloud and on-premise cloud
• Seamlessly works on OS such as Windows, Linux, Mac OS
• You can build any web app and services, mobile backend services and IoT app development and 

So as to improve app performance, it is better to ensure that you build apps that use few amount of resources to generate desired outcomes. Let’s have a look at best practices to improve .Net core app performance. 

Top .NET Core Best Practices-

1. Optimize Data Access-

Optimizing data access logic of app is one of the most important best practices to improve the performance. Most of the apps are fully dependent on the database and they have to get data from the database, process it and display it. 

It is suggested that-

• Do not get data that is necessary in advance
• Call all data access through APIs asynchronously.
• Use non-tracking queries, when retrieving data for read-only in Entity framework core.
• Use aggregate and filter LINQ queries such as Where, Select or Sum statement, so that filter thing can be performed by database.

2. Use Cache-
