I installed PHP on my Windows server and hooked a domain to it. It works so far, the only problem is that resolving the domain for the first time (eg. after loading the browser) is taking too long.

After hitting enter on the URL, for the first two seconds nothing is happening at all, then the content will load quickly as normal. after that the reloading is fast (because of caching I think). What could be the reason for the initial delay?

What is your site doing, you say it is a PHP app, what does it do? If your having to connect to database, run commands etc it may very well take a little while. – Sam Aug 5 '11 at 10:22
