problem with the speed of the page

i see that my site is a little slow
in my localhost it is fast but in the server not

but i see that videos are displayed without problems so i dont think that is from bandwith
but i am not sure

which are the main things that make a page go slow??
sessions can be one of that??
or connections with database??or something else?

It could be off most things like ViewState for the controls,Session , Server performance and Network Traffic.

Have a look at this tutorial from MSDN

Hey,

I would enable Trace on your pages, and see where the bottle neck is:

the stuff of my host says that the problem is because of the distance between my country(greece) and the host that is in usa
i did trace route and ping to my site and they told me that..

is that logic??
and if it is logic why i dont have this problem when i visit other sites that are hosted in america?

are these websites hosted in the same host as your web application?

A simple test to tell if it's the host/network or your code would be to put a html page on the server and see how fast the request is returned. If a static html page comes back fast then you could request a aspx page that does not call the database and then one that does.

On shared hosting your allocated a portion of resources so it I'd try and figure out if running code, database connection (dynamic stuff) are causing the problem - your hosts limitation.

Extra

I also notice that complied sites respond quicker - although they are compiled into the aspTemp directory after first request I still find better response times with pre compilation, also the temp folder on the server can get periodically cleaned out.

Hey,

How slow are we talking about here? Have you timed it?

Did you enable trace on your page? It should tell you exactly how long it took, and where the bottleneck is.

You might also want to open up Fiddler and look at the requests that were being made, it should give you an indication of what is going on.

i made tracert in command prompt and the whole delay was 2 seconds

I am not talking about tracert, I am talking about ASP.Net Trace, as per the link that I sent you.
