In today’s multitasking world, the developed software and apps must be very agile and robust, and get tasks completed faster and on or before time. It must be dynamic, have an architecturally simplified design and framework, and be stable across all platforms. Thus, .NET provides a suitable and easily configurable platform that can cater to all the needs above. But certain things must be done and kept in mind so that the developed app based on the .NET platform reaps the desired result and does justice to the valuable time, capital, and other associated resources behind the cause. Thus, enlisted below are ways to easily accelerate one’s .NET Application Development.

App Caching
Caching plays an important role in accelerating ASP.NET application development. One can easily implement application caching while making a database call to retrieve records. If the website uses the cache feature, it can easily download and save the cache data when requested for the first time. Thus, the existing data will be processed much faster upon being asked the next time as it won’t involve downloading the data but the mere recollection of it from its store.
Optimization of Images:
Images are essential elements, especially on blog-based web platforms, but they also undeniably consume a huge part of the current memory. In such cases, one can optimize the images or content so that the web page/pages can load faster at a given speed. One can use add-ons such as Visual Studio image optimizer and the desired application to optimize the images. Also, to ensure a faster pace concerning the web pages, one can select Lossless or Lossy image optimization options, keeping in mind that the smaller the image, the quicker the web performance.
Using Sprite Images
To make websites attractive, appealing, and user-friendly, the best way most websites opt for is by using visually stimulating images and animated image icons and cards. It is proven that users understand the concepts better when backed by images associated with them. It cannot be denied that if any web pages have excessive pictures and those of higher resolution, it will take significantly more time to download the image and thence the page. But there’s a way out, too, and that is where Sprite Images’ role comes in. They combine multiple photos into one entity and load them to a single download, thus saving time and data consumption. Therefore, a Sprite Image Generator needs to be installed and added to the MVC application for using this feature.
PackagedJavaScript / CSS Files:
In general trends, developers create applications and software filled with alluring designs with JavaScript and CSS. Again, if multiple CSS files are active on a web page, it would take much longer to download and thence for the page to load. This is when bundling can package all the JavaScript and CSS files into a single combined entity, loading faster than multiple files. The feature minification can also conveniently remove all the spaces over the JavaScript and CSS files. To make such features possible, one needs to hunt for BundleConfig.cs in the App_Start folder in the ASP.NET MVC project and define bundling and minification for it to come into play.
Using AJAX Frequently
AJAX helps to fasten certain tasks on the website, such as downloading data asynchronously that is not immediately required, such as Accordion (Collapsed Panel) and tabs. However, the use is frequent and shouldn’t always be there with too many AJAX requests. It is prescribed only when required to load more data while the user is scrolling or doing secondary tasks, as there seems to be no logic in bringing in all the data together when the user isn’t scrolling.
.NET in today’s world is thus the most convenient platform to use and venture into. It is in high demand and is also well paid. But certain things must be kept in mind to help one’s journey of .NET Application Development be smooth.
