Sql Azure - Timeout on query

I have setup an Azure website with a SQL Server Azure back-end. I used a migration tool to populate a single table with 80000 rows of data. During the data migration I could access the new data via the website without any issues. Since the migration has completed I keep getting a exception: [Win32Exception (0x80004005): The wait operation timed out].

This exception suggests to me that the database queries I am doing are taking more than 30 seconds to return. If I query the database from Visual Studio I can confirm that the queries are taking more than 30 seconds to return. I have indexes on my filter columns and on my local SQL database my queries take less than a second to return. Each row does contain a varchar(max) column that stores json which means that a bit of data is held in each row, but this shouldn't really affect the query performance.

Any input that could help me sole this issue would be much appreciated.

I seem to be around the query timeout issues for now. What appeared to do the trick for me was to update the SQL Server stats.

EXEC sp_updatestats;

Another performance enhancement that worked well was to enable json compression on my azure website. See: enter link description here
