I have NOP4.0 (Upgraded from 3.8/9) running in Azure on production load WebApp plan and SQL Azure S3. Performance is OK, I have a large number of products and attributes mapped to them.
I have read a couple of conflicting recommendations and would like some help please.
Is GZIP compression enabled on Azure by default? Online Scans suggest I am not using it, but some articles state its on by default in Azure Webapps now. I can see I can enable in Nopcommerce, but of course don't want to break anything.
Also, on the database connection, I have seen people use Multiple Active Recordsets (MARS). As Nopcommerce is a very database chatty app, would this help or hinder performance? Anyone using it?
