In addition to the debug-toolbar, I'd really like people to know about https://github.com/jazzband/django-silk (no affiliation)

I just recently found it and it has been amazing. It logs all your requests and responses by default (but is quite configurable) as well as your SQL queries (and how many/how long they take), in an easily searchable database. It can even profile functions for you.

Makes it very to see at a glance what pages are slow for people, and why, so they can be optimized accordingly.

Silk is so dang amazing I deploy it to devel and staging at work. It helps me so quickly drill down at bad ORM or SQL performance issues.
Absolutely! Just wish half the filters weren't broken... if I try to show only "POST" requests or only things from X seconds ago, it just always shows nothing... several other fields aren't working either.
This is neat, thanks :)
