Resolution

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

• How to configure the ASP cache settings for a server

  Open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager:

  On the taskbar, click Server Manager, click Tools, and then click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.

  In the Connections pane, highlight the name of your server.

  In the server's Home pane, double-click ASP.

  In the ASP pane, expand the Limits Properties section, configure your desired settings, then click Apply in the Actions pane.

   

  In this specific case, the specific property that you want to increase is the one called:
