.Net application review

Fine-tuning systems for a major publisher

 

egforit helped a major publisher with their underperforming application using a .NET application review. Read on to find out more.

The Challenge

Application slowing critical operations

 

Users at the publisher had been complaining about the application’s performance for some time, blaming the issues on the app’s complex real-time calculations. However, when an upgrade caused further performance problems to appear, the quality of the application code was called into question.

The Solution

Comprehensive .NET application review

 

The egforit Software .NET team investigated the system behaviour and architecture, providing detailed metrics on the results of this experimentation and analysis. Covering three core areas—the application and data access layer, the database, and the third-party processes—we gave a full .Net review of the application in its context.

The Results

Transparent basis for high performance

 

The client received a summary of the system state and its ability to scale and handle the existing and future workload. We complemented this with proposals on how to address each of the issues and bottlenecks discovered by the team. By taking action on these proposals, the client was able to transform the application into a high-performance accelerator of business processes.

Analytics

Analytics cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Websites are being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customise our Websites for you.

Google Analytics
The cookie _gcl_au is used by Google Analytics to understand user interaction with the website.

For example, in order for Google Analytics to determine that two distinct hits belong to the same user, a unique identifier, associated with that particular user, must be sent with each hit.

The analytics.js library accomplishes this via the Client ID field, a unique, randomly generated string that gets stored in the browsers cookies, so subsequent visits to the same site can be associated with the same user.

By default, analytics.js uses a single, first-party cookie named _ga to store the Client ID, but the cookie's name, domain, and expiration time can all be customized. Other cookies created by analytics.js include _gid, AMP_TOKEN and _gac_. These cookies store other randomly generated ids and campaign information about the user.

There are two types of cookies set by WordPress.
1 — Session cookies — These are ‘strictly necessary’ cookies as WordPress will not be able to function without it.

Wordpress comments:
Comments are usually turned off by default.
If by chance they are still active on a post, asides being turned off when spotted, data from these are not saved by egforit.
- When visitors comment on a post, they too get cookies stored on their computer. This is purely a convenience so that the visitor won’t need to re-type all their information again when they want to leave another comment. Three cookies are set for commenters:
comment_author_{HASH}
comment_author_email_{HASH}
comment_author_url_{HASH}
