Having performance issues with my website. I'm relatively new to .net, although I've learned an awful lot over the last few months!
I posted this question last night
Improving performance when working on Images with ASP.NET in VB
From which a comment was posted which got me thinking, and Googling this morning.
I'm unclear on how I would actually got about 'performance profiling' my site.
I've seen that there are tools built into visual studio if I can replicate the entire site locally, but I can't do that. There are also tools in iis, and this:

I like the look of the screen shots on the link above, it seems intuitive and easy to understand.
What I am totally unclear on though is, does require direct access to the actual server machine? Or, is it a .net plugin which I can use remotely.
I need this facility because the site is hosted on a shared server which I do not have direct access to.
If this isn't the case, does anyone have any suggestions as to how to go about finding bottlenecks in my code, remotely?
