load time + multiple users same login

[nrastogi]

Hi guys,

We were about to launch the website we have designed and thought to test the load time and performance just before we go for launch.

Well, the testing left us with 2 major questions ....

1) Users can use same login to get into the website. Well, we tried mutiple people using same login, trying to access the same records at the same time, "We got white pages quite often", even in the server log there wasn't anything recorded. Few time log says that the "record is not found". May be one of the users has deleted it.

I was wondering how do you implement and deal this sort of situation.... How does the other user know that the record is updated/deleted by some other user ....

I really need your suggestion on this and hope I explained it well.

2) Load Time - We tested the load time for all the pages, internally and though modem as well. Some pages were taking so long. There was no graphics. Mainly the login page, which go and get the security info from the cookies already setup on client's computer. My guess, accessing infor from cookies shouldn't be the only cause for the slow loading. Also, in this scenario, people received the blank page.


3) What are the best practices to test the load time and debug them or know why is that happening !!!

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
NRastogi

You'll have to give up more info for the users / records.
Can we have a look, what's the UR?
