How can I test performance of an asp.net mvc application and understand where exactly the bottlenecks are? I see some tools from redgate but to get the package is about $700. Are there any cheaper alternatives that may work? Or simple ways to really fine tune the application to maximize performance in a less expensive manner?
Thanks.
Sure. There is one stackoverflow created called MiniProfiler.
