To the Railway team,
I have a Django app whose pages load quite inconsistently. "Waiting for server response" times are often quite slow (1-15 seconds), but the same pages can also be quite fast (150-250ms). My app has no such problem in my local environment. This issue affects simple partial HTML page loads with no DB connections or large static files. There is also no real pattern to speeds (so it's not like it is getting faster after a few refreshes). I tried using Cloudflare to cache static pages and it is still inconsistent. Thank you for your support!
P.S. I am not a web developer.

Since you’re not a web developer, it’s possible that some hidden factors like server setup, asset sizes, or caching might be causing the inconsistent speeds even if it’s not obvious. It’s best to have a developer audit your site’s performance and SEO to find and fix the root causes.
If you’d like, I’d be happy to help take a closer look and guide you through improving your site’s speed and stability.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, sitting down with a developer is a sensible next step. On the bright side, my website is fast enough now. My best guess is that I need to wait a few hours after I made a new deployment before testing server response speeds.

Glad to hear things are running faster now! My 2 cents is I don’t think the delay after a deployment is the reason for the speed improvement. It’s more likely that something else you changed or fixed along the way did the trick.
