Azure Web Apps are really slow
Initially when we deployed our Azure App Service - Web app (hosted in Resource Group1) and our Azure SQL database (hosted in Resource Group2), the app was very slow. The mistake that I made was that both the RG1 vand RG2 were in two different locations.Later, when we changed the location of both RGs (recreated them actually) to be the same then the WebApps started running smooth.
Thanks,Prawin
I too have the same problem, I fixed by moving or copying my site contents(Pictures and Videos) to Azure Blob Storage. We can also configure Azure CDN to WebApps, VM, Cloud Services and Custom origin. By trying thsi Azure CDN your site loading time will improve.
