Increase WebGrabber's Performance Converting HTML Files

Increase WebGrabber's Performance Converting HTML Files

The web service response time is taking over 20 seconds regardless of the size of the HTML page.

Probable Cause

Performance may be limited due to the manner in which WebGrabber is used. 

Resolution

Do one of the following to increase performance:

• Create the HTML file first in a separate function, and then use the URL method to do the conversion.

Follow the link for a basic WebGrabber conversion example:

• Use the property, HTMLTextToFile, along with CreateFromHTMLText to create a temporary file during rendering.
