asp.net mvc - Pre-compile razor views in asp .net mvc 5

Question

I have an ASP .Net MVC5 website, I have performance issues, I want to pre-compile the razor views and exclude them when deploying my website in IIS, I followed the steps indicated in this article but I got an error : RazorGenerator.targets was not found, in fact I checked in the package folder I din't find this file. Do you have any idea why this dll not found in the package folder ? The RazorGenerator.Mvc and RazorGenerator.MsBuild are installed correctly. Thanks in advance

You don't need RazorGenerator for this. When publishing just set the option to "Precompile during publishing", under "File Publish Options" on the "Settings" tab. Click "Configure" and then tick "Merge all outputs to a single assembly". Give it a unique name, generally something like [ProjectName].Precompiled.
