title: Configuring an Azure Website with application warmup
body: <p>I have an <a href="https://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/home/scenarios/web-sites/" rel="noreferrer">Azure Website</a> developed for which I would like to reduce the initial loading time. On a regular ASP.NET site I would configure the <a href="http://www.iis.net/download/ApplicationInitialization" rel="noreferrer">Application Initialization IIS module</a>, but with Azure Websites direct IIS configuration is not possible.</p>
  
  <p>The website is running in reserved mode if that makes any difference.</p>
