Improving Map service performance

Hiking & Activities

How do you improve map performance?

Procedure

  1. Scale dependency on layers and labels.
  2. Remove unnecessary layers or data frames.
  3. Use annotation instead of labels.
  4. Avoid complex symbology and label effects.
  5. Use the ESRI_Optimized style set for defining simple line and fill symbols.
  6. Use a map cache to improve rendering performance.


How can I improve my ArcGIS server performance?

Use the following best practices to optimize the map for performance:

  1. Use scale dependent rendering.
  2. Remove unused layers and data frames.
  3. Use validation for definition queries.
  4. Simplify layer symbology.
  5. Consider using cached maps when possible (if the data changes infrequently, for example)

What is the difference between a map service and a feature service?

A map service does not expose the editing capability and provides read-only access to feature and attribute content, while a feature service contains the information from feature layers that can be edited if editing is enabled. Clients can query and edit the feature geometry and attributes of a feature service.
