Overview

Website Optimization occurs on new product installs to perform initial compilation and caching.
It recompiles files into the Windows .NET Framework temporary files as CS and DLL binaries, and then loads the DLL files itself.
Each time you run the Orion Configuration Wizard, website optimization also occurs, unless it is skipped.
SolarWinds recommends that you perform website optimization to prevent slow performance until the page is cached. Subsequent page refreshing should result in a faster page load.

Resolution

Run the Orion Configuration wizard.
When prompted, select Website, and click Next.
Let the process complete. Do NOT click Skip Website Optimization.

You may also wish to run just the optimization part of it. To do so follow the steps below:

Open the Command Prompt as Administrator
Navigate to Orion installation folder (default: C:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\Orion)
Run the following command
```
OptimizeWebsite.exe C:\inetpub\SolarWinds
```
Note: Replace C:\inetpub\SolarWinds with the path of your Orion website.
