I have a simple website setup using Azure hosting. I am not using the shared hosting and have a pretty decent medium core standard plan so the site is usually running very fast. I am using Umbraco 7.5.4.
I have a few different templates for the site, and I am noticing that when Azure websites are reset (sometimes this happens if Azure recycles IIS/app pool) each time I hit a new template the page takes awhile to load, sometimes over 30 seconds.. then it's fast again for each template type I've hit.
Can I do some sort of pre-loading to hit every template type when the site is reset so that the pages load faster the next go around? Is this normal behaviour? I apologize for my lack of knowledge as I am used to just straight ASP.NET websites and I realize if I recompile the site and publish it should take a bit to load, but I am seeing upwards of 20-30 seconds for each template type. I appreciate any advice on how to correct this!
I have faced that too but I use shared hosting for my solutions. The main cause was that the system was resetting some writing settings on my application folder so the every first hit meant 20-30 seconds of delay.
Unfortunately I do not know how to refer that to Azure cloud hosting...

Hi Planx42,
I think the problem is in code of your site. It's not a typical problem of Umbraco sites, can you share some code with the community?
Do you have some startup events in your project?
Thanks,

It seems to be a similar problem to this one:
