Server 2008 slow home page load in Internet Explorer

  • 772

I have a problem with Internet Explorer for all users.

On startup the home page takes around 20-30 seconds to load. This includes servers such as the Domain Controller and Terminal Server.

However once the home page has loaded all pages from then on run fine. If you close and then reopen Internet Explorer the same thing happens.

Any suggestions?

  1. It was rather simple once I found the solution - I simply unchecked the "Automatically detect Settings" under LAN Settings on the Connection Tab in Internet Explorer. This has fixed the issue.

    I then used a registry change through Global Policy to push out these changes to every user. Problem is now solved site wide!

  2. It's because the asp.net service isn't always running. Once you visit the site, it automatically loads and then it'll be fine from there onwards.
