Looks great from the demo https://avodemo.herokuapp.com/users/sign_in

My only suggestion would be to perhaps try out a beefer instance for heroku or perhaps it is http/1.1 limitation of heroku and a switching to one of the disruptors like render.com would help performance?

It also may completely be because I am in the UK. Clicking around just feels slow 700-800ms+ response times, assuming its hosted in US.

Also another quick fix might be sending the request on mouse down. I know unpoly (side competitor to Hotwire) does this https://unpoly.com/a-up-instant

Oh darn. I forgot about the demo site to beef up the hosting for this post. I'll do that this week. I'll probably move it to a separate instance.

Yes, it's hosted in the US.

Thank you for that and unploy. I'll have a look.
