Our live e-commerce site is built on the Microsoft .NET stack and, while feature-complete, the backend has begun to drag under load. Pages that once rendered in under a second now spike past five, occasional time-outs appear in the logs, and CPU usage sits uncomfortably high. I’m looking for help focused strictly on bug fixes and ongoing maintenance, with the immediate priority being performance bottlenecks on the server side. You’ll start by profiling the application (IIS, ASP.NET MVC / Web API, Entity Framework, SQL Server) to pinpoint slow spots—inefficient queries, memory leaks, or blocking calls. From there, I need clean, well-commented patches that restore sub-second response times under typical traffic and remain stable in our staging environment for at least 48 hours before deployment. Deliverables • Diagnostic report outlining root causes and performance metrics before/after fixes • Refactored .NET code and updated database scripts where required • A concise hand-off note describing changes, new settings (caching, connection pooling, etc.), and any monitoring recommendations Acceptance criteria • Average backend response ≤ 1 s on 95% of requests under current load • No new exceptions introduced in Application Insights for 72 hours post-deploy • All existing unit tests pass; any new tests you add included in solution If you have solid experience squeezing every millisecond out of .NET e-commerce apps, let’s talk.

Hi, I have strong hands-on experience troubleshooting and maintaining production .NET e-commerce and business applications, with a particular focus on server-side performance, ASP.NET MVC/Web API, IIS, Entity Framework, and SQL Server. I can start with a structured performance assessment of the application and infrastructure to identify the actual bottlenecks rather than applying assumptions. This includes profiling IIS and ASP.NET request execution, reviewing application logs and CPU/memory usage, analyzing Entity Framework queries and SQL Server execution plans, and investigating blocking calls, connection issues, inefficient database operations, and potential memory leaks. Once the root causes are identified, I will implement focused, clean, and well-commented fixes while keeping the existing functionality intact. I can also optimize database queries, indexes, EF operations, application code, and IIS configuration where appropriate.

Sub-second to five seconds with rising CPU and intermittent timeouts is a recognisable pattern, and in a .NET e-commerce backend it is usually one of three things — none of which you can identify by reading the code. So I would measure before changing anything: - Profile under real load and check the database first. In my experience the cause is most often a missing index that only started mattering as the table grew, or an ORM query issuing one call per row inside a loop. Both look innocent in code and are obvious in a query trace. - Check connection pool exhaustion, which produces exactly your symptom set — fine under light load, timeouts and high CPU under pressure, often from undisposed contexts or sync-over-async blocking threads. - Look at caching: what is being recomputed per request that could be cached, particularly catalogue and pricing data. Then fix in order of measured impact, with before-and-after numbers so you can see what each change bought. Bug fixes and maintenance ongoing, as you scoped. Background: performance work on production systems is routine for me — SQL Server, PostgreSQL and MySQL tuning, EXPLAIN-driven rather than guesswork. .NET is on my stack, though my deepest application work is Node, Python and PHP; for diagnosis and database-level optimisation that distinction does not matter much. Questions: can you share slow-query logs or APM data if you have any, and what is the database — SQL Server? Also, is the site on IIS or containerised? Martin

Your acceptance criteria need a baseline before anything changes, or there is no way to prove the 95th percentile moved. First thing I do is capture current numbers under real traffic, not a synthetic test, so before and after are measured the same way. On a .NET backend that degraded without a code change, the usual causes in the order I find them: Entity Framework N+1 queries that were fine at low data volume and are not now, plus missing or fragmented indexes on the columns your queries actually filter on. Sync-over-async - .Result or .Wait() on an async call - starving the thread pool. That matches your symptoms exactly: high CPU, spiking response times, occasional timeouts, worsening with traffic rather than degrading smoothly. Connection pool exhaustion from undisposed contexts, which produces timeouts that look random. Method: profile with a profiler, SQL Server execution plans and Application Insights, then patch the biggest wins first and re-measure after each change, so we know which fix earned which improvement. Patches arrive commented, DB scripts separate so you review them before they touch production. You get the diagnostic report with before and after numbers, the refactored code, and the hand-off note on caching, pooling and what to monitor so this does not creep back. 10 days including the 48 hours in staging.

Hi, I’m a Software Architect with 14+ years of experience building and optimizing enterprise .NET applications, APIs, databases and distributed systems. This project is closely aligned with my experience in diagnosing performance bottlenecks and improving application reliability. I can start with profiling the application across IIS, ASP.NET MVC/Web API, Entity Framework and SQL Server to identify the actual root causes rather than applying generic optimizations. I’ll investigate areas such as: • Slow SQL queries and database execution plans • Entity Framework inefficiencies and excessive database calls • Blocking/synchronous operations and thread contention • Memory usage and potential leaks • API/server-side bottlenecks • Connection pooling and caching • IIS/application configuration • CPU and request-level performance I’ll provide before/after performance measurements, implement focused fixes, add tests where appropriate, and document the changes and monitoring recommendations. My approach is to improve performance without compromising application stability or maintainability. I’m comfortable working with existing production codebases and troubleshooting complex issues systematically. I can also help identify architectural issues that may cause the same performance problems to return as traffic increases. I’d be happy to review the current application and start with profiling and root-cause analysis. Best regards, Kumaran

Hi there, **Understanding of the Project:** I understand that your live .NET e-commerce backend is experiencing slow response times, time-outs, and high CPU usage under load. You need the root causes identified and performance restored without introducing new issues. **My Solution:** I’ll systematically profile IIS, ASP.NET MVC/Web API, Entity Framework, and SQL Server to identify inefficient queries, blocking calls, memory issues, and other bottlenecks. I’ll then implement clean, well-documented fixes, optimize database queries and backend code, and review caching/connection-pooling opportunities. I’ll validate the improvements in staging and ensure existing tests continue to pass before deployment. **A few questions:** 1. Which .NET version, Entity Framework version, and SQL Server version is the application currently using? 2. Do you already have Application Insights/profiling data showing the slowest endpoints or queries? 3. Is there a staging environment where I can benchmark and validate the fixes before production? I’d be happy to review the current bottlenecks and discuss the optimization approach. **Please chat with me in Freelancer chat so we can discuss the project and get started.** Warm Regards, Amit

Hi — performance work on ASP.NET + SQL Server backends is my daily bread: I maintain large-scale .NET business platforms where I regularly hunt down slow EF queries, blocking calls and memory pressure, using Application Insights (which you already have — big advantage) plus SQL Server execution plans and profiling. My plan for your site: 1. Profile first, touch nothing: baseline metrics from App Insights + SQL DMVs to identify the real bottlenecks (inefficient EF queries and missing indexes are the usual suspects at 5s render times). 2. Targeted fixes: query/index optimization, caching where it pays off, async/connection-pooling corrections — clean, commented patches, no rewrites. 3. Deliver exactly what you listed: before/after diagnostic report, refactored code + DB scripts, and a hand-off note with settings and monitoring recommendations. I work with AI-assisted tooling which makes me fast on unfamiliar codebases, and I'm comfortable with your 48h-staging + 72h-App-Insights acceptance criteria. Available to start today.

Hello, This project is a strong match for my .NET backend and SQL Server experience. I have hands-on experience with C#, ASP.NET MVC, Web API, Entity Framework, SQL Server and backend performance optimization. I will approach the problem through profiling and measurable analysis rather than making blind code changes. My approach will be: • Establish baseline response-time, CPU and database performance metrics • Profile IIS, ASP.NET MVC/Web API, Entity Framework and SQL Server • Identify slow queries, inefficient EF operations, blocking calls and unnecessary database operations • Review execution plans, indexes and database access patterns • Analyze memory and CPU bottlenecks • Implement targeted C# and SQL optimizations • Run before/after performance tests • Validate fixes in the staging environment • Ensure existing tests continue to pass • Provide a diagnostic report and concise technical hand-off documentation I will also document any recommended caching, connection-pooling, configuration or monitoring changes. I would establish the application’s actual baseline first and then work toward the ≤1 second / 95th percentile target based on the identified bottlenecks, rather than making an unrealistic performance guarantee without profiling the system. Fixed price: ₹12,500 Estimated delivery: 7–10 days I am comfortable working with an existing .NET codebase and can keep the changes focused, maintainable and easy to review. Best regards, Sameer

Hello, Your mention of response times increasing from under 1 second to over 5 seconds immediately suggests a few areas worth investigating: • Inefficient EF Core queries or N+1 query issues • Missing database indexes • Excessive data loading or tracking overhead • Synchronous operations blocking request threads • Caching opportunities for frequently requested data • Connection pool or resource contention under load I recently built and deployed a full-stack e-commerce application using ASP.NET Core Web API, SQL Server, Redis caching, JWT authentication, Docker, and structured logging. While my project was smaller in scale, it gave me hands-on experience diagnosing API performance and database-related bottlenecks. For your project I would begin by: Profiling the application and identifying the slowest endpoints. Reviewing database queries and execution plans. Checking Entity Framework usage and tracking behavior. Evaluating caching opportunities. Measuring improvements before and after changes. I can also provide a concise report documenting findings, optimizations made, and recommendations for future monitoring. I'd be happy to discuss your current architecture and performance metrics before starting. Regards, Abdul Moid
