Is there a way to profile my Django application?

Question

My Django application has become painfully slow on the production. Probably it is due to some complex or unindexed queries.

Is there any django-ish way to profile my application?

Answer 1

Try the Django Debug Toolbar. It will show you what queries are executed on each page and how much time they take. It's a really useful, powerful and easy to use tool.

Also, read recommendations about Django performance in Database access optimization from the documentation.
