.NET code and memory profiler – NEW

ANTS Profiler box shot
  • Identify performance bottlenecks within minutes
  • Fast and responsive – minimal impact on the execution of your program
  • Line-level timing – drill down to the specific lines of code responsible for performance inefficiencies
  • Profile any .NET application, including ASP.NET web applications
  • Optimize memory usage and locate memory leaks (Pro version)

"With most profiling software, my application runs so slowly that it's barely usable but, with ANTS Profiler 4, even when it's collecting line-level timings, the overhead was hardly noticeable."

Select a region of activity on the timeline and view the data just for that region

Zero in on problem code: click and drag any region of activity on the timeline, and you will be presented, almost instantaneously, with the data for just that region; this is ideal if you want to narrow down the amount of information you get.

During performance profiling, ANTS Profiler records the time it takes for each line of code to be executed, as you are using your application. Detailed results then reveal the slowest lines of code and methods, allowing you to quickly identify performance bottlenecks and optimize your .NET application accordingly.

ANTS Profiler is available in two editions: Standard and Pro.
