Assuming it's IIS based, you could give IISPeak a look at it, is a pretty easy tool to see what IIS is currently working on and what's slowing it down: http://iispeek.com/

Performance issue on website response. Server literally takes 20-30 seconds to response to request sent by the firewall before firewall forwards response to user on the Interwebs. Mucho time spent with wireshark analyzing packet traces to show that the firewall is receiving the request from the WAN and promptly forwards http request to internal web server. Web server response takes forever to respond, troubleshooting now but wanted to throw this out to the collective...
