| The DNN technology is based on Microsoft ASP.NET technology and is no different to any other application running on your PC. If the application is not running a start up time will be visible. Once a website is loaded is remains active for 20 mins before it is released from memory. During this time the website will not have the lage load times. To prevent the website from being released from memory the site needs one page to be hit every 20 mins. This is not an issue for sites with reasonable traffic volumes but can be an issue for small sites. If the page load speed is the most critical concern for you, the static HTML sites will by far outperform any CMS system. Other factors that affect load time are the design of the website itself and the browser render time will vary based upon bandwidth availability and CPU load on the client.
