SelectPdf slow performance on web server












0















I'm testing the SelectPdf Community Edition for a new project.



I'm converting a single-page HTML document to PDF. On my local dev machine, this takes 2-3 seconds. But when deployed to our test web server, the same conversion takes about 3.5 minutes. (The amount of time is very consistent.)



What could be causing such a slow conversion on the web server and why would it be so different from my development machine?

  • It appears the SelectPdf library might be creating an outbound connection while processing. This connection would be blocked by the firewall on our web server, maybe causing SelectPdf to hang while waiting for a response?
