I think Application Initialization Module will be usefull for you 😉

Adding following code solved the problem,

<compilation optimizeCompilations="true" />

Optional Boolean attribute Specifies whether dynamic compilation will
recompile an entire site if a top-level file is changed. Top-level
files include the Global.asax file and all files in the Bin and
App_Code folders. If True, only changed files are recompiled.The
default is False. For more information, see Understanding ASP.NET
Dynamic Compilation.
